Season series: Kraken lead 2-1

These teams just met at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on Jan. 23, with the Ducks doubling up the Kraken 4-2 at even-money (+100) as the Under (6.5) cashed. LW Cutter Gauthier and D Pavel Mintyukov each had a goal and an assist.

The Kraken topped the Vegas Golden Knights on the road last time out Saturday as moderate underdogs (+170) as the Under (6) cashed. RW Kaapo Kakko had the game-winning goal in the third period to make a winner out of G Joey Daccord, who had 27 saves. Seattle has won 4 in a row, matching a season high accomplished on 2 other occasions. It is averaging 4.3 goals per game (GPG) in the win streak, with the Over going 2-1-1.

The Ducks topped the Golden Knights 4-3 last time out Sunday as slight favorites (-110) as the Over (6.5) cashed. LW Chris Kreider notched 2 goals with a plus-3 rating. The Ducks are an impressive 8-2-0 across the past 10 games, while the Over is 3-1 in the past 4 outings.

Kraken at Ducks picks and predictionsPrediction

Ducks 3, Kraken 2

The DUCKS (-135) are worth a look as moderate favorites, but it should be a close game throughout. Both of these teams are playing good hockey lately, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see these teams perhaps face each other in the playoffs if they can finish the season strong.

We’ll lean Anaheim because of venue, and Dostal has been a little stronger in net lately, especially at home.

The Kraken +1.5 (-210) are too expensive to play straight up, costing more than 2 times your potential return. If you like Seattle, just bet it straight up. If you want to take this play, make sure to fold it into a multi-leg parlay, and then it is quite all right.

AVOID, and just look to the moneyline instead for a singular play.

UNDER 6.5 (-115) might be the best play on the board.

The Under has cashed in all 3 meetings this season, with a total of 14 goals in the 3-game span, or 4.7 GPG. The Under is 7-3 across the past 10 meetings in this series, too. Both Grubauer and Dostal are playing well, so that factors in heavily, too.
