Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken Betting Picks

Detroit has won the past four meetings, including 4-2 on Nov. 18. The Red Wings are 12-3 in their past 15 against Pacific Division opponents, and Seattle has lost seven of eight against the Eastern Conference. The Red Wings have lost six of eight, but the Kraken haven't been doing much better, having lost four in a row while scoring only six goals in that span. Seattle just got outscored 13-4 in a two-game series against Edmonton. Philipp Grubauer allowed four goals and Joey Daccord yielded five in the Kraken's 9-4 loss to Edmonton on Thursday. Daccord is likely in the net tonight; he has allowed 12 goals in three games, all losses. Take the Red Wings.

Seattle has picked up its scoring. The Kraken have scored nine goals in their last two games, five versus the Jets when Connor Hellebuyck was in net, and four against the Sharks in their last game this past Saturday. They are facing a Detroit defense that ranks 21st defensively. The Red Wings have looked better offensively, too, lately producing six goals against the Ducks last Thursday, four goals against the Sabres this past Saturday, and firing 42 shots on net in a 2-1 victory against the Rangers two days ago. Seattle is 30th in killing penalties. Detroit is 15th in power play percentage. Cam Talbot is projected to be in goal for Detroit. He has an .896 save percentage. Detroit's other goalie, John Gibson, has an.875 save percentage. Take the OVER. 

Detroit plays its fourth consecutive road game. The offense is 20th in goals scored, while the defense is 19th in goals given up and last in penalty killing. Seattle's offense is ninth in shooting percentage and has scored 16 goals in the last five games. Seattle plays its fourth straight at home and eighth home game over the last nine contests. During this extended home stretch, they knocked off Buffalo (6-4) and Pittsburgh (4-1) as small favorites plus routed San Jose, 6-2. Play Seattle.

Seattle's offense is 20th in goals scored and 23rd on the power play. It's the second of a back-to-back road spot after playing at Buffalo last night. Detroit's offense is 25th in goals scored, while the defense is 13th in the NHL in shots on goal allowed. That defense has keyed a six-game winning streak allowing an average of 2.5 goals. They come off a win over Chicago allowing just two shots on goal in the second period. Take Seattle/Detroit UNDER the total.
