LiontipsMinnesota vs Seattle. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (April 23, 2022).
Command Analysis
Minnesota are on a three-game winning streak. They had a close game against San Jose and won outside regulation (5:4 OT).

Finally, Minnesota beat Vancouver (6:3) at home. The entire first line was excellent - each player earned a point.
Seattle have also celebrated success in their last three games. The Kraken prevailed over New Jersey in a shootout (4:3), then got a more confident win against Ottawa (4:2). In the last outing, Seattle beat the leaders of the Western Conference Colorado in regulation (3:2) - this definitely gave the team a boost of confidence.
