Seattle and Utah have a short history of playing each other. But that history has been marked by high-scoring games. There have been at least six goals scored in each game. There has never been an UNDER in the series history. There has been an average of 7.4 goals scored in five games. Utah defeated the Kraken, 5-3, at home in the first meeting of the season on Dec. 12. Both teams have been scoring above their season averages lately. Seattle ranks 26th in scoring, averaging 2.7 goals. The Kraken have the seventh-best power play in the league. Seattle is averaging 3.5 goals in its last nine games. The Kraken have allowed three or more goals in five of their last six games, though. Utah ranks 17th in scoring, averaging 3.1 goals. However, the Mammoth are averaging 3.5 goals during their last eight games. Take the OVER.
