Seattle Kraken vs Los Angeles Kings: NHL match betting tip

Current form

Seattle is ranked 13th in the Western Conference. The team, of course, had an unsuccessful season, and was inferior to many rivals in most aspects. To be fair, even before the start of the regular season, no one considered the club to be a serious contender for the playoffs. It should be noted that for all six months he lacked stability.

Even recently, kraken was able to produce an excellent series of three victories, after which he failed two matches in a row. So, after defeating the same Kings (2:1), Dan Bylsma's team lost to Utah (1:7) and Vegas (1:2), but they regained their composure at home and defeated St. Louis 4-3 in a hard fight. 

In general, with the support of the home stands, Seattle only plays a little better than away, but still, on average, there are at least three goals in the net. Also, the starting twenty minutes is the most unfortunate for kraken, in which he has a 63:92 ratio for goals scored and conceded.

Disqualifications and injuries

At the moment, the team has no problems with the composition.

Current form

Los Angeles remains one of the leaders of the Western Conference and is currently on the fourth line of the standings. The team is literally one point ahead of its closest pursuer, Colorado, and can no longer worsen its position, since, unlike its opponent, it has two matches left. In addition, this month the kings are producing strong results and ending most of the fights in their favor.

Even before the unsuccessful match against Seattle, the Kings expanded the series to four victories, and after the unsuccessful match they dealt with Anaheim (6:1) and Colorado (5:4) on their ice, and also proved their superiority over Edmonton with a score of 5:0 on the road, while getting off without a single missed goal. Goalkeepers Darcy Kemper and David Rittich, of course, did an excellent job in that match and parried a combined 21 shots between the two.

In addition, Jim Hiller's squad is currently playing very well offensively, so in many meetings it opens up the opponent's defense at least three or four times and enjoys a great numerical advantage.

Disqualifications and injuries

Jeannot and Edmundson will not play in the upcoming match.

Interesting betting trends

• Los Angeles wins 50.7% of face-offs
