Edmonton - Seattle: NHL match betting tip
On March 23, we expect a duel between Edmonton and Seattle, in which the bookmakers consider the hosts to be the favorites. The Oilers had looked pretty good before and had just come off a three-game winning streak, while Kraken did nothing but alternate successful matches with defeats. The previous meetings between the clubs, which took place this season, ended in favor of the owners of the site. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton is currently in fifth position in the Western Conference and has earned a combined 85 points. The team is in good condition, so it can claim to be in the top three in the near future. However, the possibility of achieving this goal is now in doubt, as the club has lost two key leaders in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
Both forwards are out indefinitely, and this loss can be called colossal for the Oilers, since now their performance will become much worse. Nevertheless, before that, the Oilers dealt with the Islanders (2:1 OT) and the Rangers (3:1) on the road, but after a big home victory over Utah (7:1), they still lost to Winnipeg with a score of 3:4 in overtime.
McDavid also took part in that match and even scored an assist, and Jeff Skinner took the game into his own hands and scored a double. However, it is now completely unclear which hockey Edmonton will play, and which players will now come to the fore.
Disqualifications and injuries
McDavid, Draisaitl, Kane, Frederik and Klingberg will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.

Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle has been showing unstable results throughout the season, so it's not surprising that even now it's in 13th position in the Western Conference and has only 65 points. The team can hardly qualify for the playoffs anymore, since it is separated from the top eight by 12 points. To do this, she needs to give out some crazy winning streak, but so far she is not even able to win two victories in a row.
Kraken had previously proved its superiority over Utah (4:2), lost to Winnipeg (3:4 OT), and then went on the road, where it confidently beat Chicago (6:2), but lost dryly to Minnesota with a score of 0:4. In the match with the savages, Dan Bylsma's men were extremely active in the wrong zone and scored a total of 34 shots at the wrong goal, but on that day the realization of the moments clearly left much to be desired.
Usually, the team makes about three goals on the road, but it also concedes about the same amount in return. Most of the goals come in the first period, in which the club has a 55:80 ratio of goals scored and missed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Chandler Stevenson will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Seattle makes 27 shots on target.
- Kraken performs 21 power moves per match
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the teams, the first period was inconclusive.
1.85Bet 2nd period: the guests will score
In three out of five meetings, the guests scored goals in the second leg.
1.53Tip and bets
In our opinion, Seattle is capable of claiming points in this confrontation. Edmonton is now left without leaders in the person of McDavid and Dreisaitl, so it's going through bad times. Kraken should take advantage of the fact that the opponent has no leaders in the squad and show their best game, especially after the defeat from Minnesota. Kraken also scored points in the previous four out of five matches, so we don't think the visitors will lose to the Oilers in regular time.
Prediction - Seattle won't lose in 1.78
Betting on an individual total
We don't think that without its offensive leaders, Edmonton will score a lot in the near future. The Oilers will need time to rebuild, so in the upcoming confrontation with Seattle, they will not be able to score more than two or three times. Moreover, Kraken itself had managed less than three goals out of four in the previous three meetings.
We're betting on Edmonton's individual total of less than 3.5 goals in 1.59
Bet on the total total
Recent matches involving Edmonton have not been particularly productive and often ended with fewer than six goals scored. After a crushing defeat in the final match, Seattle probably won't dare to play on opposite courses and will act with an eye on its own goal, so we expect to see no more than five goals in the upcoming confrontation.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 2.05
