Kraken vs. Red Wings Moneyline Pick
- Kraken +140 (4 units)
Detroit has picked up points in three straight games entering this game. The Red Wings are playing their third game in four nights here, which is going to take a toll on them. Seattle has struggled on the road this season, posting a 3-3-2 mark in their eight games, but they do have some momentum on their side after winning two straight. The Kraken has a rest advantage on their side here, though goaltending depth could be problematic if Murray is down for any period of time. Neither team has been a juggernaut, despite their respective places in the standings. Seattle takes advantage of a fatigued Detroit squad to emerge with a victory.
