Blackhawks Fall In OT To Edmonton

The Blackhawks arrive in Seattle looking to shake off a tough overtime loss in Edmonton, where they fell 3-2 on Saturday night. Tyler Bertuzzi and Andre Burakovsky provided the goals, while Spencer Knight turned aside 27 shots to keep them in it, but Evan Bouchard’s overtime winner spoiled what could have been a momentum-building road victory. Still, Chicago has managed to stay competitive on this West Coast swing, and the effort level has been there even if the results haven’t always followed. With a 5-4-3 record, they’re hovering around the middle of the Central Division pack, and this matchup with the Kraken feels like an important chance to grab points before heading home.

Connor Bedard continues to be the focal point of Chicago’s attack, and while he didn’t score against Edmonton, he picked up an assist and generated several quality looks. His chemistry with linemates has been improving, and the addition of Burakovsky—who returns to Seattle after his stint with the Kraken—has given the Blackhawks another proven scorer to lean on. Frank Nazar has also been a bright spot, showing flashes of the playmaking ability that made him a top prospect. The Blackhawks aren’t the one-line team they were a year ago, and that added depth has made them more dangerous in tight games.

Defensively, Chicago has been steadier than expected, ranking in the middle of the league in goals allowed. Knight has been solid in net, posting a .913 save percentage through his first nine starts, and the blue line has gotten strong minutes from Alex Vlasic and Kevin Korchinski. The penalty kill has been serviceable, though discipline remains an issue at times. Against a Seattle team that has struggled to generate consistent offense, the Blackhawks will look to keep things simple—clogging the neutral zone, limiting odd-man rushes, and letting their young stars create on the counterattack.

Seattle Comes In Struggling

Seattle comes into this one frustrated after back-to-back overtime losses, the latest a 3-2 defeat to the Rangers on Saturday night. Chandler Stephenson and Brandon Montour provided the goals, but the Kraken managed just 13 shots on goal all game—a franchise low. Joey Daccord did his part with 24 saves, but the lack of offensive pressure has been a recurring theme. At 5-2-4, Seattle has been able to collect points thanks to their defensive structure and goaltending, but the inability to finish chances has kept them from climbing higher in the Pacific Division standings.

The Kraken’s offense has been under the microscope, and head coach Lane Lambert has been vocal about the need for more urgency. Jaden Schwartz and Jordan Eberle have been steady contributors, but the team is still waiting for Matty Beniers to find his scoring touch. Brandon Montour has been a welcome addition on the back end, chipping in goals in consecutive games, while Stephenson has given them a reliable two-way presence down the middle. Still, Seattle has scored more than three goals just twice in 11 games, and that lack of firepower has put a lot of pressure on their defense to be nearly perfect.

Defensively, the Kraken remain one of the stingier teams in the league, allowing just 2.8 goals per game. Vince Dunn continues to log heavy minutes, and Adam Larsson has been his usual steady self in the defensive zone. Daccord has carried the load in net, and while his numbers have dipped slightly with the heavy workload, he’s been more than capable of keeping Seattle in games. The formula has been clear: defend hard, get timely saves, and hope the offense does just enough. Against Chicago, the Kraken will be looking to flip the script by generating more shots and sustaining pressure, especially with Burakovsky returning to Climate Pledge Arena in a Blackhawks sweater.

Chicago Blackhawks vs Seattle Kraken Pick

Blackhawks vs Kraken Moneyline Pick

• Seattle -150 (5 Units)

Backing Seattle in this spot makes sense because the Kraken have been playing tight, structured hockey even if the wins haven’t piled up yet. Their defensive system under Lane Lambert has kept them in nearly every game, and Joey Daccord has been steady between the pipes, giving them a chance night after night. At home, in front of a loud Climate Pledge Arena crowd, Seattle tends to feed off the energy and grind opponents down with their forecheck. Against a young Chicago team still learning how to win consistently on the road, that structure and discipline could be the difference.

The matchup also tilts toward Seattle when you consider Chicago’s reliance on Connor Bedard to drive offense. The Kraken have the defensive depth to throw multiple looks at him, with Vince Dunn and Adam Larsson capable of handling heavy minutes against top lines. If Seattle can limit Bedard’s space and force the Blackhawks’ secondary scorers to carry the load, they’ll be in a strong position. Combine that with the Kraken’s ability to roll four lines and wear teams down over 60 minutes, and this feels like the kind of game where Seattle’s balance and home-ice edge give them the upper hand.

Blackhawks vs Kraken Over/Under Pick

• Under 6 (4 Units)

The under 6 feels like the right play here because both Chicago and Seattle have been grinding through low-event games where scoring chances are limited. The Blackhawks rely heavily on Connor Bedard to drive their offense, but beyond him they’ve struggled to finish consistently, while the Kraken have been one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league despite solid defensive structure. With Joey Daccord and Spencer Knight both capable of keeping things steady in net, and neither side showing much explosiveness lately, this matchup projects more like a tight, defensive battle than a shootout, making the under a strong angle.
