Coming up on Monday, December 4 at 7:30 PM ET, bettors can check out an appealing NHL matchup between the Seattle Kraken (8-11-6) and Montreal Canadiens (10-11-3). Currently, the Kraken are favored to win with a moneyline at -162.

The Kraken have gone 1-4 in their last five games and have lost their last four consecutive heading into this matchup. Their most recent defeat was a 2-0 shutout against the Ottawa Senators.

During this losing streak, they are averaging 1.8 goals and giving up 3.8. This is not ideal if they want to succeed, as the Canadiens average slightly higher.

The Kraken are getting 2.68 goals a game and take 30.4 shot attempts to reach that total. They have also added 17 power play goals and have a power play percentage at 21.0, which sludges edges out the Canadiens.

They allow 3.4 goals on defense and 29.2 shots from opponents. They have allowed 18 power play goals, which essentially breaks even in those moments. They also have a slightly more appealing penalty kill percentage at 75.7.

The Canadiens have gone 2-3 in their last five games and are currently on a two-game skid. Their most recent defeat was a 5-4 overtime defeat to the Detroit Red Wings.

In their recent two losses, they have averaged 2.5 goals and allowed 5.0. This is not the momentum they need, but might try their luck again at home. Can they turn things around at their third straight home game against a team that is struggling worse than they are? 

The Canadiens are averaging 2.75 goals, but only get off 28.4 shot attempts. They have scored 15 power play goals and showcase a power play percentage at 16.9.

They give up 3.54 goals to opponents, who also take 33.9 shots each game. They have given up quite a few power play goals (24) in comparison to the ones they have scored, which shows they do not do well here. They also have a penalty kill percentage at 73.9.

MyBookie reveals the odds in this NHL showdown, which shows the Seattle Kraken are slightly favored. With both teams experiencing a losing streak, it could show a scrappy fight to get the win.

The Kraken have slightly more appealing stats heading into this game, despite having a worse record compared to the Canadiens. However, the Canadiens have experienced tougher losses against better teams. They should have a good chance here.
