San Jose - Seattle: NHL match betting tip
Sharks and Kraken will play each other in California on April 6. Both teams will not play in the playoffs this season and are just playing out the remaining matches. San Jose wants to end a series of setbacks that began at the end of last month. The Kraken started the trip with success and intend to score two more points in the duel against the sharks. Ryan Warfowski's men have outplayed their opponents twice this season. Will it succeed now? Read our betting tip
Command Analysis
San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
The team led by Ryan Warfowski has not shown a strong level of hockey throughout the regular season and is in the basement of its conference table. The Sharks have scored only 50 points in 75 games and can compete with Chicago for the penultimate place in the West. San Jose is not in the best shape right now and has suffered four defeats in a row. At the end of March, the Sharks were defeated by the Cops (1-6) and the Kings (1-8), and in April they lost to Anaheim (3:4, B) and Edmonton (2:3).
The hosts remain the most skipped team in the league. On average, Mario Ferraro's squad concedes as many as 3.8 goals per game, while this figure is even worse on the road. San Jose allowed its opponents to score 25 goals in the previous five matches, and the Russian goalkeepers continue to change each other at the last line of defense. Georgy Romanov blocked only 85.97% of shots and played four matches in the base.
Disqualifications and injuries
Shakir Mukhamadullin, Logan Couture and Jan Rutta will not play against Kraken. The condition of Alexander Georgiev, Jimmy Schuldt and Vince Desjarnais is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- San Jose throws 27 times per game on average
- Sharks earn 8.37 penalty minutes per Game
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle failed to compete for the playoffs and ends the season at the bottom of the conference table. The Washington State team ranks 13th in the conference table with 70 points after 76 starts and no longer has a single chance of reaching the finals of the tournament a couple of weeks before the end of the regular season. The Kraken play poorly in the new year and very rarely give out winning streaks. They won only two out of seven meetings, but they were able to start the current guest tour with a 5-0 victory in Canada over Vancouver.
The guests very often make mistakes in defense and constantly miss in large numbers. At the same time, in the last seven games, Seattle allowed its opponents to score only 21 times, which is not so many. Joey Duckord remains the team's main goalkeeper and is having far from the weakest season of his career. The American blocked 90.94% of shots and made two shutouts in 52 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the guest leaders will play in California. Eli Tolvanen and Jayden Schwartz have not confirmed their status.
Interesting betting trends
- Kraken blocks 14 shots per encounter
- Seattle wins 48.6% of face-offs
Trends
Bet period 2: total more than 1.5 pucks
In the last four games between the teams, the second period was productive.
1.50Bet 1st period: Seattle will score
Seattle has scored in the first period in the last three games.
1.47Tip and bets
San Jose has been playing without motivation for a long time, but that doesn't stop the California team from winning at least sometimes. Now the hosts can leave the last place in the conference and will definitely try to do so before the end of the regular season. Seattle has lost its theoretical chances of making the playoffs, and the recent results of the Washington State team leave much to be desired. Ryan Warfowski's players have already beaten Kraken this season and are able to repeat their success. We suggest betting on winning first in regular time.
Our betting tip is for San Jose to win in 3.35
Betting on an individual total
The hosts play well offensively and score 2.66 goals per match in the home arena. Seattle lacks reliability in their half of the ice, while on the road they concede 3.49 goals per game. The visitors don't have a reliable goalkeeper in the squad, so we think that San Jose will have at least three accurate hits without any problems.
Betting Tip - San Jose's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.85
Bet on the total
The teams must produce a productive match in California, because neither side has tournament motivation and can play brightly for the fans. This season, these teams played spectacularly and scored in large numbers. We believe that the opponents will attack and score at least six goals between them. Let's bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.65
