Command Analysis

Seattle Kraken

Current form
Seattle held an away series of four matches, which started quite successfully. In the first match, the team faced Calgary and almost lost in regular time, but made a comeback in the third period, and equalized the score just four minutes before the final whistle. As a result, it came to overtime, where they managed to snatch Victoria (3:2). Goalkeeper Dakkor made a big contribution to the success, reflecting 27 shots out of 29. The Kraken were able to consolidate their success against an even more dangerous opponent, Florida. The guests played even more reliably defensively and did not allow the opponent to realize their full attacking potential, snatching Victoria with a one-goal difference. Once again, Daccor has fully completed its main task.
Next, Bylsma's team went to visit Tampa Bay, which picked up an unrealistic pace and smashed all the opponents in its path. As expected, Seattle was not strong enough to cope with such a powerful opponent. The attacking line tried to compensate for defensive lapses and created a huge number of dangerous moments in the Lightning zone throughout the match, but only one shot out of 37 reached the goal, and as a result had to be defeated with a score of 1:4. But the team performed the worst in the next match with St. Louis. Goalkeeper Dakkor played as unreliably as possible, and by the end of the second period, the Blues scored six unanswered goals, which led to a 2-7 defeat. Indeed, so far the club has been getting points with great difficulty, which is why it is only on the 13th line in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the playoff zone is as much as 11 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gurd will not be able to help his team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Seattle gets an average of 6.17 minutes of penalty time per game.
The team is rarely eliminated more than three times per game this season.
- According to statistics, Kraken makes 27 shots on target
The team is characterized by low shooting activity this season and usually does not threaten the opponent's goal more than 27 times.

Vancouver Canucks

Current form
Vancouver continues its away series, which has been unsuccessful so far. In the first match, the Canucks played a serious opponent, Vegas. Both teams demonstrated active hockey, but luck was on the opponent's side. In the third period, Vegas realized several dangerous moments and took the lead, and then consolidated the advantage. As a result, the Canucks were defeated with a score of 1:3. Out of 34 shots of the team, only one reached the goal. In the next match against Utah, the team expected to recoup and regain the lost points. However, the team's attacking line looked weak: in three periods, the killer whales scored only 16 shots on the opponent's goal. Utah managed to score just six minutes before the end of the match, which led to a second defeat in a row — 1:2.
The series of failures continued in the match against Los Angeles. The Canucks opened the scoring in the first period, and by the end of the second period they already had a two-goal advantage. However, the third period again proved to be a failure. Vancouver allowed the opponent to equalize the score and put the game into overtime. In extra time, Tokket's team showed character and snatched victory in a tough match — 3:2. This victory should have seriously encouraged the team and given it confidence in its abilities, but it did not happen. Visiting far from the most serious opponent, in the person of Anaheim, the club was completely defeated (2:5), and after two abandoned goals in the first period. Goalkeeper Shilov played poorly, deflecting only 83% of shots. Such weak performances of the team will soon lead to the fact that it will leave the playoff zone. But for now, he continues to cling to the eighth place in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Demko and Juulssen will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.

There is no trace of Vancouver's highly effective offensive line this season. The team is working very hard to realize its potential.
- The team gets an average of 9.32 minutes of penalty time.

1.60Tip and bets
Bookmakers cannot identify a clear favorite in the upcoming match and give the teams approximately equal odds to win. Indeed, both clubs are showing mediocre results this season. Vancouver is on the decline and performs poorly on the road, where it constantly loses points. Seattle, in turn, returned to its home arena, where, with the support of the fans, it can impose a decent fight on the killer whales. We believe that the owners of the ice will take advantage of their small advantage and win. However, for additional safety, we suggest betting on a zero head start.
Our prediction is that Seattle will win with a handicap (0) in 1.85
Bet on the total
Both teams experience defensive problems throughout the regular season and often allow their opponents to play offensively. In face-to-face meetings, the clubs also delight fans with effective hockey, which means that we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 2.00
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Vancouver's first period was one of the most successful. Recently, at the end of the starting segment, the team either earns an advantage or does not allow its opponent to do so.
Betting Tip - Vancouver will not lose in the first period in 1.45
