Detroit vs. Seattle: NHL Match Prediction
Detroit will try to continue its winning streak on the evening of January 12. Seattle won the day before, but the Krakens have not been showing good results lately. The Wings are close to the playoff zone, but they need to continue winning to claim a place in the top eight in the East. The Red Wings have never beaten an opponent within regulation time. Will they be able to do it now? Read about it in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit has risen to 12th place in the conference, having scored 42 points in 41 games. The Wings intend to get into the playoffs this season, but to do so they need to win, which Todd McLellan team does not always succeed. The Red Wings changed their coach after another series of defeats and the situation began to change. At the moment, the Reds have six wins in a row and are very close to the eighth place in the East, but the competition is very high. After away successes in Columbus (5:4) and Winnipeg (4:2), Dylan Larkin team earned two points in home games against Ottawa (3:2, OT) and Chicago (5:3). The hosts controlled the course of the meeting with the Hawks and constantly led in the score.
The hosts have been doing well offensively lately, although they remain one of the lowest scoring teams in the conference and have still scored only 115 goals. In the last five games, Detroit has scored 20 times, which is a strong result. Lucas Raymond has found excellent form and has often distinguished himself in recent games. The Swedish forward has 44 points (17+27) and leads the club scorers.
Alex Lyon recently returned from injury and has been a regular on the ice lately. The goalie has stopped 90.18% of shots in his possession and hasn't given Cameron Talbot a chance to displace him from the starting lineup. Lyon was unable to play in the last game due to another lower body injury, so the veteran will have to take to the ice again. In the five previous games, the Michigan team has only allowed more than two goals in a game twice, which is pretty good by NHL standards.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeff Petrie will not play against the Kraken.
Interesting trends for betting
- Detroit is allowing an average of 3.2 goals per game.
Wings have failed to improve their defense in recent matches and have not improved their defensive performance.
- The Red Wings win 51% of their faceoffs.
Todd McLellan charges began to perform a little better at the point and win the puck for their teammates more often.
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle played well at the beginning of the regular season, but due to weak results during the fall and early winter, the club from Washington State dropped to 13th place in the conference and is gradually lagging behind the top eight in the West. Jordan Eberle team earned 39 points in 43 games and is nine points behind Vancouver, which is in eighth place. Dan Baylsma charges are currently in poor shape. They have lost four of the previous five games, while completely failing to start the calendar year. The Krakens lost at home to Edmonton (2:4) and New Jersey (2:3), and then lost in Ohio (2:6). The match against Buffalo did not start according to the scenario of the guests. The Monsters were down two goals after the first period, but turned the match around and won with a score of 6:2.
The visiting defense has been a sieve in the first half of January. Seattle has allowed 18 goals in its last five games, although it hasn't allowed that much during the season - 3.21 goals per game. Joey Daccord has started 25 games and has only allowed one shutout. The goalie has stopped 91.42% of the shots on his own, which is not bad by league standards. He is not in the best shape right now and has lost five of his six games.
The Kraken have not always been great at converting their chances, scoring only 2.93 goals per game. The bright spot in the Mariners' offense is Jared McCann, who has scored 32 goals (13+19). He is only 75th in the league top scorers, but other forwards are not even in the top 100.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jordan Eberle will not be in Michigan on Sunday.
Interesting trends for betting
- Seattle won only 49% of its faceoffs
The Krakens don't always perform well at the point and often lose the puck to their opponents.
- The Monsters take 27 shots on target per game
The visitors have a lot of initiative and often bother the opponents' goalkeepers.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In five of Detroit seven games, the first period was productive.
1.75Bet 3rd period: Detroit will score

1.40Tip and bets
Detroit continues its winning streak and is very close to getting into the top eight in the East. Todd McLellan team has finally started scoring in large quantities and is feeling great during the home series. Seattle showed character last night, but overall, the Krakens' recent results do not inspire confidence. The visitors have earned only three points in the last five matches and spent a lot of energy and emotion in the match against Buffalo. We do not think that they are capable of beating such wings. Let bet on a victory for the hosts, taking into account overtime and shootouts. Prediction - Detroit wins the match for 1.65
Bet on individual total
The Wings have finally started scoring and in each game they manage to distinguish themselves with at least three accurate shots. Seattle, on the other hand, has conceded 3.62 goals per away game this regular season and is unlikely to be able to contain the Red Wings' attack that has gained momentum. We believe that Todd McLellan charges will be good in terms of implementation and will hit the visitors' goal at least three times. We bet on Detroit individual total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.55
Total Bet
The teams have played only six matches against each other in history. Since 2021, there have never been fewer than six goals scored in games between the teams, and the hosts are currently playing their games extremely productively. Seattle plays poorly in defense on the road, but the club from Washington State will have to open up and go forward. Let play a bet on the total over.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks for 1.77
