Anaheim Ducks @ Seattle Kraken Preview

The Anaheim Ducks (20-23-6) and Seattle Kraken (22-26-3) are set to clash in a Pacific Division matchup. Both teams are struggling to find consistency this season, with the Ducks sitting seventh in the division and the Kraken not far ahead. Anaheim has shown promise with young players like Mason McTavish and Troy Terry stepping up, but their offense remains one of the weakest in the league, averaging less than 2.50 goals per game. Meanwhile, the Kraken have struggled to capitalize on their offseason moves, with a lack of standout performances from their stars and goaltending issues ranking them 23rd in the NHL.

Both teams are coming off contrasting results. The Ducks are riding a two-game win streak, including a 5-2 victory over the Nashville Predators, while the Kraken suffered a 4-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. With both teams desperate for points, this game could be pivotal in shaping their seasons.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The Seattle Kraken have dominated this head-to-head matchup, boasting an 8-2 record in their last 10 meetings against the Anaheim Ducks. This season, the teams have split their two encounters, with the Ducks winning the most recent game 5-2. The Kraken have been particularly strong at home, posting a 4-1 record in their last five games at Climate Pledge Arena against Anaheim. Historically, these games have been close, but Seattle's home-ice advantage has often been the deciding factor.

Pick: Seattle Kraken Moneyline (-139)

The Kraken's strong home record against the Ducks and their overall dominance in this matchup make them the safer pick. While neither team has been in stellar form, Seattle's ability to perform at home and their historical success against Anaheim give them the edge. Additionally, the Ducks' offensive struggles and reliance on goaltending could be exposed by the Kraken's balanced attack.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Jared McCann Over 0.5 Points

Jared McCann leads the Kraken with 38 points in 51 games and has been a consistent contributor. With Anaheim's defensive vulnerabilities, McCann is well-positioned to register at least one point in this game.

2. Mason McTavish Over 0.5 Goals

McTavish has been in great form recently, scoring two goals in the Ducks' last game. With Seattle's goaltending struggles, McTavish has a good chance to find the back of the net again.

3. Total Goals Over 5.5

Both teams have shown defensive weaknesses, and their recent games have seen higher goal totals. The over has hit in five of the Kraken's last 10 games and four of the Ducks' last 10, making this a solid play.
