Seattle vs. Calgary: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

After an unsuccessful start to the season and a defeat to St. Louis (1:4), Bylsma charges went to play on the road, where they were able to rehabilitate themselves for the lost points. In the first away match, the team met a serious opponent in the person of Minnesota and was able to snatch a hard-fought victory in a shootout (5:4). In particular, it is worth praising forward Eberle, who scored twice. The Krakens were able to consolidate their success in a match with Nashville, in which they completely crushed the Predators with a score of 7:3. This time it is difficult to even single out any of the players, since many distinguished themselves with effective actions. Seattle suffered its only away defeat from Dallas (0:2).

Back at home, the team once again showed its offensive potential in full, beating Philadelphia (6:4). The Flyers almost turned the game in their favor in the third period, but Bjorkstrand scored the final goal three minutes before the final whistle, which finally finished off the opponent.

Disqualifications and injuries

The Krakens continue to play in full force, as they have virtually no injured players. The only question mark is defenseman Vince Dunn, who may still recover for the upcoming match.

Interesting trends for betting

• Seattle averages four goals per game

The Krakens are distinguished by their very productive play and consistently score a large number of goals, which allows them to earn points.

• Seattle converted just 14% of its power play attempts.

But Seattle has had big problems with making use of the extra player on the ice; the team has scored almost all of its goals with full rosters.

Current form

The new season has started off very well for Calgary. The team remains one of the few without a single defeat on its record and currently occupies the second line in the Western Conference standings, having the same number of points as Winnipeg and Dallas. The Flames had serious problems only in the opening game of the regular season, in which they almost had to lose to Vancouver, but a great game at the end of the meeting allowed them to make a comeback, and later to win in overtime (6:5). Returning to their home arena, the Flames met with Philadelphia and left no chance for their opponent, defeating them with a score of 6:3. Forward Huberdeau showed his best side, scoring twice and also giving two assists.

Then Huska charges went on the road again, where they also confidently dealt with Edmonton (4:1). This time, the main hero of the meeting was defenseman Anderson, who worked well in defense and also consistently joined the attack, which allowed him to score three points. Calgary got its fourth victory in a row already at home, beating the obvious outsider in the person of Chicago (3:1).

Disqualifications and injuries

Of the serious losses for Calgary, it is worth noting only forward Yegor Sharangovich. Also, two more scorers are injured, in the persons of Kevin Rooney and Samuel Honzenk.

Interesting trends for betting

• Calgary is allowing an average of 2.5 goals per game.

The team distinctive feature is its high-quality defensive play, which does not allow opponents to realize their potential in attack.

• Calgary converted 28% of its power play attempts

The Flames also have a great power play and consistently take advantage of their opponents' penalties.
