Seattle Kraken Betting Preview

The Kraken surprised the league when they defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 7-4 a few games back to land their first win of the season. However, that positive momentum quickly faded away in their 4-1 defeat to the New York Rangers in their last game.

If they could come alive like they did against the Hurricanes, their season could have some meaning. Right now, they are sixth in the Pacific Division and need that momentum to continue from that lone win.

Despite that scoring outburst in their win, they have not been the same in other games. They are averaging 1.83 goals a game and allow 3.33 from their opponents. This must slow down soon or they risk falling further behind this year.

The Kraken are getting a decent number of shot attempts a game at 30.0. However, they allow their opponents to have too many good looks at the net in the 29.8 shots that they allow.

Detroit Red Wings Betting Preview

The Red Wings have won their last five games after starting the season off with a loss. Their previous victory was a 6-2 outing against the Calgary Flames, where they scored two goals each period to walk away with a win.

Their dominance so far has allowed them to be on top of the Atlantic Division. This game should be another good test against teams that are desperate for success.

Their success has been measured by how dominant they have been on both sides of the puck. They are averaging 5.00 goals a game and are limiting their opponents to 2.50, making this a favorable margin.

The Red Wings do not have a large difference between their shot attempts compared to their opponents. They average 31.2 shots a game and allow their foes to get up 29.3. So far, this has not been an issue since they have been more accurate in their shots.
