The hosts are on the edge of the playoff zone in the Western Conference, while the visitors are in the top six in the East.

Command Analysis
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
The Seattle Kraken failed to earn a playoff spot last season, finishing only in 12th place in the Western Conference. Now the team will try to show a better result and still get into the top eight. The Kraken has looked good on the road so far, where they have suffered only one defeat in three games, but they could have done better on home ice. Seattle has played its last four games at home, but only managed to win the first two. After victories over Philadelphia (6:4) and Calgary (2:1 OT), Dan Bylsma men suffered losses to Colorado (2:3) and Winnipeg (3:4 OT). The upcoming match will be the final one in the home series, so the hosts will clearly try to please the fans with a victory.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vince Dunn will not be helping the team in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Krakens have never lost by more than two goals.
The club has not suffered a single crushing defeat yet, and the players fight to the end in every match.
- Seattle converted just 13% of its power play attempts.
What is noteworthy is that the team scored almost all of its goals at even strength.
Carolina Hurricanes
USACurrent form
Last season, Carolina hoped to fight for the Stanley Cup, but ultimately stopped at the quarterfinal stage, where they lost to the Rangers. The club does not give up hope of fighting for the title and remains among the favorites. The start of the season went well for the Hurricanes - only two losses in six matches. In the very first match of the season, the team lost heavily to Tampa (1:4), but then won against New Jersey (4:2) and Pittsburgh (4:1). After the next defeat to St. Louis (3:4), the visitors began to win again and have already won away victories over Edmonton (3:2 OT) and Calgary (4:2). In the upcoming match, the Hurricanes will try to extend their winning streak.
Disqualifications and injuries
Swedish striker Jesper Fast will be out of action due to a neck injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the Hurricanes allow 2.5 goals per game.
The team demonstrates excellent defensive play and, thanks to the presence of reliable goalkeepers, rarely allows opponents to realize their potential in attack.
- On average, the Hurricanes receive 11 penalty minutes per game.
But Carolina has problems with discipline. The team often gets sent off, which creates unnecessary problems for itself.
Trends

3.05Tip and bets
Carolina has gained excellent form at the beginning of the season and plans to go on another campaign for the Stanley Cup. The Hurricanes started the current away series with a defeat, but this did not bother them at all. The team has started a new winning series, which today can be extended to three games. Rod Brindamour charges have everything they need to defeat Seattle. We believe that the visitors will gain the upper hand in this confrontation.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1) on Carolina for 2.10
Bet on total
Both teams have been quite successful in attack at the start of this season, and in face-to-face matches the opponents have not scored less than five goals. There is no point in sitting back in defense at this stage of the championship, so we believe that this match will be extremely spectacular.
Forecast - total over six goals for 2.10
Bet on the outcome of the third period
This season, Carolina has already turned the tide of the match several times and tipped the scales in their favor already in the final period of the match. We think that the third period will remain in the guests' favor.
Prediction - Carolina wins in the third period for 2.20
