Vancouver at Seattle

The Kraken have not looked good since returning from the Olympic break, losing 5-1 to the Blues and 4-1 to the Stars this past Wednesday and Thursday. Each of those games was on the road. Now the Kraken are at home for the first time since Jan. 29. All the pressure is on Seattle for this matchup. This is the largest Seattle has been favored since mid-November. Vancouver has the worst record in the NHL. Lately, though, the Canucks have been competitive. They are 1-4 in their last five games, with two of the defeats during this span occurring in overtime and in a shootout. The Canucks have an extra day of rest. They have played once following the Olympic break, losing in overtime to the Jets, 3-2. The Canucks-Kraken have split two games this season, with each game being decided in a shootout. The Canucks have won nine of 17 games against the Kraken lifetime. Take the Canucks.
