Seattle vs Vegas. NHL Match Prediction and Bets

Current form

Seattle slump has been going on for a very long time, causing them to lose a huge number of points and fall to 12th place in the Western Conference standings, and if they continue to play in the same spirit, they may soon find themselves in last place, with an advantage of only two points. After three defeats in a row, the Krakens went to visit Montreal, where they unexpectedly crushed the Canadians with a score of 8:2. The entire offensive line showed excellent play, which is why it is difficult to even single out any of the players.

It seemed that the broken losing streak and such an easy victory would help the club to recover and believe in its strength, but this did not happen. Continuing to play away, the team first suffered a defeat from Toronto (1:4), and then was completely unable to even score a goal in two games in a row, losing dry to Ottawa (0:3) and Boston (0:2). Indeed, this time Seattle attack looked extremely pale, and in both games it was able to make only 45 shots on goal. As expected, away to Colorado they also failed to show a decent game, again suffering a defeat with a difference of three goals (3:6).

Remarkably, Seattle continues to play with almost its full roster, with only defenseman Vince Dunn in the infirmary.

Goalkeeper Samsonov showed his worst side, reflecting only 77% of the shots.

Returning to their home arena, the team was able to rehabilitate themselves before the fans, snatching a victory from Utah in overtime (4:3).
