Seattle - Edmonton: NHL match betting tip
On March 28, Seattle will perform at its home arena, where, with the support of the fans, it will try to break its series of failures. However, there is a very serious rival in the face of Edmonton in the way of the Kraken, so there are few chances to win. What kind of bets should I choose? You will find the answer in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Seattle Kraken

Current form
Seattle completed a four-match away series, which began with a confident victory over Chicago (6:2). However, the team's success came to an end there, and in the next match with Minnesota they had to concede dry (0-4). This is not to say that the Kraken played inactive, but the implementation of the moments left much to be desired. Of the 34 shots, none reached the target. Next, the team went to visit Edmonton, where they unexpectedly imposed a worthy struggle on the clear favorite, but still lost in regular time with a score of 4:5. Goalkeeper Dakkor did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 85% of shots.
Defensive problems also arose in the next match against Calgary. In the third period, Bylsma's players allowed their opponent to take advantage, and everything went to another defeat in regular time. But less than two minutes before the final whistle, Seattle equalized, though later lost in overtime (3:4). It is worth noting that the club has fewer and fewer chances of reaching the playoffs, and the gap from the eighth position is already 17 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Stevensson remains in the Seattle infirmary, but his participation in the upcoming match is still in doubt.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Seattle concedes 3.3 goals per game.
- The Kraken receive an average of 6.5 penalty minutes per match.

Edmonton Oilers

Current form
Edmonton played three matches at home, but the support of the home stands did not help the club to achieve success in duels with rivals of its level. In the first match, the team faced Winnipeg and was one step away from victory, but still suffered an embarrassing defeat in overtime (3:4). Goalkeeper Skinner showed his worst side, reflecting only 80% of shots. The Oilers were able to regain their lost points in a duel with Seattle, snatching Victoria from the Kraken in regular time (5:4). Striker Nugent-Hopkins showed a great game, scoring a hat-trick.
The oilmen were unable to consolidate their success. I had to fight one of the strongest clubs in the Western Conference in the person of Dallas and lost to him with a difference of one goal (3:4). Once again, Skinner proved to be insufficiently reliable, and he was replaced at the beginning of the third period. At the moment, the team occupies the sixth place in the Western Conference table, but the advantage over the nearest competitor has been reduced to two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is worth noting that Edmonton has serious losses. The club's two most productive strikers, Dreisaitl and McDavid, are in the infirmary. Frederick and Kane will also not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- The Oilers are averaging 3.3 goals per game.
- Edmonton averages 32 shots per game.

1.50Tip and bets
It may seem that Edmonton has started a recession, as the team often loses points. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the Oilers met with the strongest clubs in the league and were able to impose a worthy struggle on them. But Seattle is really not in the best shape and continues to lose to all competitors in its path. It is unlikely that the home walls will help the club to take revenge on the Oilers. Yes, due to the problems with the composition of the guests, difficulties may arise, but still we suggest using an excessively high coefficient.
Our betting tip is for Edmonton to win in 2.50
Bet on the total
We can also expect productive hockey in the upcoming match. Citel continues to have problems defensively, and Edmonton has also been missing too many goals lately. It is for these reasons that we choose total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.75
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Seattle's first period was far from the most successful. The team consistently allows its opponents to earn an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Edmonton wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.80
