Seattle vs. Toronto: NHL match forecast
On February 7, Seattle will once again perform at the home arena, where they will try to break their streak of failures. This time, the team will face a clear favorite in the face of Toronto, so it will not be easy for the Kraken to achieve the desired result. Our experts have prepared a forecast that will help you identify the most optimal rates at the moment
Command Analysis
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle's slump has already dragged on quite a bit, which is why the team lost a huge number of points. At the moment, the team is holding a home series, which began with a defeat from an opponent of its level, represented by Anaheim, with a score of 4:6. The Kraken were unable to hold back the pressure of the opponent, but goalkeeper Grubauer showed himself the worst, reflecting only 77% of the shots. The attacking line tried to compensate for this disadvantage, but even high performance did not help the club to cling to the points. Next, he hosted a clear outsider, San Jose. Bylsma's players played much more reliably, and also fully realized their full attacking potential, which allowed them not only to regain their lost points, but also to defeat the Sharks (6:2). The second team played the best, which collectively managed to score 10 points.
However, the team was unable to consolidate its success. In the next match against Calgary, we had to concede three unanswered goals in the first period due to a large number of clearances and a weak game in the minority. The Kraken were almost able to even the score, but still had to concede in regular time (2:3). Despite the lost points, it is worth praising goalkeeper Dakkor, who deflected 32 shots out of 35, which made it possible to avoid a complete failure. Next, Seattle hosted Detroit and was also able to impose a decent fight, suffering a very disappointing defeat in a shootout (4:5). Remarkably, the hosts equalized the score just three minutes before the final whistle, thanks to Stevenson's abandoned puck. The prolonged recession has led to the fact that the team has already dropped to the 13th place in the Western Conference table, with 50 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Eberle and Gourde will not be able to play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Seattle gets an average of 6.24 minutes of penalty time per game.
The Kraken are highly disciplined and very rarely break the rules.
- According to statistics, the team makes 26 shots on target
But the team has problems with creating dangerous moments in attack.
Toronto Maple Leafs
CanadaCurrent form
Toronto still began to recover from the recession, which led to a series of defeats from three consecutive matches. Initially, the team played in the home arena, where they unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat from a clear outsider in the face of Columbus with a score of 1:5. Remarkably, the Blazers scored only 18 shots on the Leafs' goal, but it was enough for such a confident victory. It seems that this blow had a strong effect on the morale of the club, as after that he could not cope with Ottawa either, but he lost by a one-goal difference (1:2). Returning to their home arena, the Maple Leafs faced Minnesota and once again proved unable to show their attacking potential, losing with a score of 1:3. Berubi's players created many dangerous moments in the Wild zone, but their implementation left much to be desired.
The series of failures ended as suddenly as it had begun. Toronto went to visit Edmonton, where they had a three-goal advantage at the end of the first period and were able to hold it during the meeting, which allowed them to beat the Oilers with a final score of 4:3. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. Next, the club met with Calgary and left no chance for its competitor, defeating the Flames with a three-goal difference (6:3). Striker Nylander showed a great game, scoring a hat-trick. Matthews also scored once again, giving three assists. A small series of defeats did not significantly affect the Maple Leafs' position in the Eastern Conference table. At the moment, the Canadians are on the fourth line, and the gap from the second position is only two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is worth noting that Toronto continues to have problems with the squad. Dewar, Hakanpaa and Jarnkrok will definitely not play in the upcoming match. Marner and Stolars are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Toronto gets 7.52 minutes of penalty time per match
Usually, the "leaves" are removed at least four times per game.
- Toronto has a 61:45 ratio in scoring and missed goals in the second period.
The Leafs play a great game in the second twenty minutes and score regularly.

1.51Tip and bets
Toronto FC is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are many reasons. Firstly, the team was finally able to come to its senses and began to show excellent results again, consistently coping with both outsiders and opponents of its level. Secondly, the Leafs are superior in all respects to Seattle, which continues to be on the decline. It is also worth noting that the Kraken, even in the home arena, do not always achieve the desired result, and in general they show a weak game this season. So we suggest not to take any chances and make a confident bet in favor of the guests.
Our forecast is a Toronto victory in 2.08
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Seattle cannot boast of a reliable defensive game and often allows its opponents to fully realize their attacking potential, which Toronto is quite capable of using. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Forecast - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.75
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Due to its significant superiority over its opponent, Toronto has every chance of creating serious problems for Seattle from the very beginning of the match. We believe that the Kraken will not be able to cope with the pressure of such a powerful competitor and will allow him to gain an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Toronto FC won in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.67
