Detroit at Seattle

October 20, 2026
img9:40 PM Eastern

Detroit lost 6-3 at Seattle on October 9, and the Kraken outshot them 40-24. John Gibson was in goal that night, and Seattle scored six times on 24 shots. Gibson is 2-3-1 this season with an .873 save percentage. Tonight the crease belongs to Daniil Tarasov, who has a 0.79 goals-against average and a .965 save percentage in three appearances. Detroit is 3-3-2 and Seattle is 5-3-1, so the Kraken own the better record. The Red Wings have still earned a point in four straight games since that loss, going 2-0-2. Alex DeBrincat leads the team with five goals and nine points, and his line with Emmitt Finnie and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard has outscored opponents 7-1 in roughly 70 minutes together. Seattle comes in off a 4-3 overtime loss at Tampa Bay and an 8-3 loss at Florida, 12 goals allowed in two games. I give that slide and the goalie change more weight than a first meeting Detroit lost with a different goalie in net. Detroit is a near coin-flip price with the sharper goaltending, and I'm taking the Red Wings on the moneyline.
