Canucks vs Kraken Pick
Money Line Pick For Canucks vs Kraken
- Kraken (-160) (4 units)
The Kraken look to step up on their home ice, and I see them taking over this game from the first period. The Kraken should pile on the goals against the Canucks, who allow 3.64 goals per game, with Jordan Eberle and Matty Beniers controlling the puck in the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Kraken should limit the Canucks offense, which averages only 2.53 goals per game, with Jmaie Oleksiak, Vince Dunn, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Philipp Grubauer to make plenty of big saves. The Kraken should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice.

The Canucks and Kraken have awful offenses, and I see this game being a low-scoring one from the first period.

The Kraken, who allow only 2.93 goals per game, should eliminate the Canucks offense, which has scored only eight goals in their last four games, with Vince Dunn, Adam Larsson, Jamie Oleksiak, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in all three zones while limiting shots on the net, while goaltender Philipp Grubauer blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.
Take the Under on 6 goals.
