Command Analysis
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle has completed a five-game road series that ultimately turned out to be a failure. The team managed to win only one victory over a far from serious opponent in the person of Montreal (8:2). What is noteworthy is that all other meetings ended in regulation time, and with a difference of more than one goal. The Krakens unexpectedly could not even score a goal in matches with Ottawa (0:3) and Boston (0:2). The team also suffered defeats from Toronto (1:4) and Colorado (3:6). Few could have expected such a low performance from the wards of Bylesma, since they consistently created problems for the opponent defense throughout the regular season.
Returning to their home arena, Seattle was still able to rehabilitate themselves before the fans and snatched victory from the clear favorite Vegas in the first match (4:3 OT). Finally, the team was able to show its attacking potential, and in particular, it is worth praising forward Tanev, who scored twice. Then the team met with Columbus and this time crushed their competitor with a score of 5:2. This time, goalie Daccord made a big contribution to the success, reflecting 38 shots out of 40.
Disqualifications and injuries
Seattle doesn't have any serious problems with its roster. Dunn and Grubauer remain in the infirmary, but the latter may still have time to recover in time for the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Seattle converted just 16% of its power play attempts.
The team continues to have problems making use of the extra player on the court and rarely takes advantage of a serious advantage.
- On average, the Krakens receive nine penalty minutes per match.
The team also has problems with discipline, which has a negative impact on the final results.
Chicago Blackhawks
USACurrent form
After a terrible start to the season, Chicago has finally started to cling to points and has been showing good results lately. The team successfully completed the away series, snatching victory from Los Angeles in a shootout (4:3), and also defeating an opponent of their level, Anaheim (4:2). Both goalies of the club, Soderblom and Mrazek, made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 37 and 38 shots in both games, respectively. Returning to the home arena, the Hawks were unable to continue to please the fans and suffered a rout from Detroit (1:4). This time, Mrazek was not so reliable. As expected, away from home, Dallas again had problems both with creating and converting moments in attack, which led to another failure (1:3).
But the Blackhawks unexpectedly managed to give Minnesota a worthy rebuff, playing at home. Once again, Chicago did not show itself in attack, but Mrazek blocked almost all the shots, which allowed the game to go into overtime, and then snatch a victory with a final score of 2:1. Thanks to the points scored, the club rose to 13th place in the Western Conference standings, but the playoff zone is still far away.
Disqualifications and injuries
Chicago infirmary remains unchanged. Goalkeeper Brossoit will definitely not play in the upcoming match, and defenseman Martinez is still questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Chicago scores just 2.5 goals per game.
Throughout the season, the Hawks have had serious problems both creating and converting attacking chances, which is the main reason for the club defeats.
- The Blackhawks are averaging 27 shots per game.
The team shows very low activity in attack and relies more on defense.

1.76Tip and bets
Seattle has once again managed to pick up a great pace and is showing excellent results at home, coping with both serious competitors and obvious underdogs. Things have started to improve for Chicago, but only due to the excellent play of the goalies, since the defense is still not reliable, and the attacking line is simply not able to compensate for the missed pucks. The Krakens prefer open, attacking hockey, which will be a serious problem for the Hawks and will be a decisive factor in the final result of the match.
Our prediction is a Seattle victory at 2.09
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, you shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored, despite Seattle very productive play. Chicago will again sit back in defense and try to let in as few goals as possible, and the Krakens alone are unlikely to break the total of more than five goals.
Forecast - total under 5.5 goals from 2.04
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Seattle has an excellent chance to earn an advantage already in the first period, as it will feel a serious superiority over its opponent and create serious pressure on Chicago.
Prediction - Seattle win in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.66
