LiontipsMinnesota vs Seattle NHL Game Preview and Betting Predictions
Command Analysis
Current Form
The Minnesota Wild are poised to emerge as contenders in the Western Conference this season. The team has all the makings of a top contender, featuring a robust offense and a focus on improving their defensive game. In their opening match, the Wild delivered a stunning away victory against Chicago, winning 6-1, and followed it up with a solid 3-2 home win over Columbus.
It's also worth noting that Kirill Kaprizov is in outstanding form, consistently racking up points and serving as a key player in their offensive lineup.
Injuries and Suspensions
Chisholm will not participate in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Minnesota has allowed fewer than three goals in their last three matches.
- Statistically, the Wild limit opponents to less than 30 shots on goal per game.
Current Form
Last season, Seattle missed the playoffs. This year, the team is likely to face a similar fate, especially considering their low activity in the transfer market and minimal changes to the roster. It's worth noting that the Kraken has only played one game so far.
In their recent match against St. Louis at home, Seattle suffered a 2-3 defeat. Once again, the squad struggled to score more than two goals. This scoring issue plagued the team throughout last season, and it appears the new head coach has yet to find a solution.
Injuries and Suspensions
Currently, there are no injured or suspended players on the roster.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Seattle averages 2.65 goals per game
- The Kraken averages no more than 19 hits per game
Trends

1.90Bet 2nd Period: Home Team Victory
In the first two matches, the home team dominated the second period
2.45Tip and bets
We believe that Minnesota should secure two points in this matchup. The Wild have made an impressive start to the season, remaining undefeated. Additionally, their recent head-to-head encounters with Seattle have often ended in their favor, frequently achieving victories in regulation time. The Kraken fall short against their opponents in several areas and are clearly less effective in capitalizing on scoring opportunities, making a bet on a Wild win a sensible choice.
Prediction - Minnesota to win at 2.15
Bet on Individual Total
Seattle continues to struggle with creating and converting scoring opportunities. Their performance is not significantly different from last season when the team rarely scored more than two goals. Minnesota, on the other hand, has conceded no more than two goals in their last two matches.
We recommend betting on Seattle's individual total to be under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.90
Bet on Total Goals
Typically, games between these teams do not feature a high number of goals. Minnesota tends to take a more defensive approach after a couple of goals are scored, opting to cede control to their opponents. Similarly, the Kraken also prioritize defense.
We suggest placing a bet on the total to be under 5.5 goals at odds of 2.00
