Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on October 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Last season didn't turn out particularly great for Seattle. Toward the end of the regular season it was obvious that the Kraken would not make the playoffs, and as a result they finished in 12th position in the Western standings with 81 points. In general, we can't expect accomplishments from the team so far in this campaign. There were transfers, but not particularly high-profile, and the results in the preseason are sad - two wins and four defeats. The day before, Seattle beat Edmonton 6:2.

St. Louis looked better than Seattle last season, and they managed to stay alive until the last few games of the regular season. The Blues finished ninth in the Western Conference standings with 92 points, just six points short of a top-8 and a playoff spot. As with the Kraken, there were no high-profile signings in the offseason, but in preseason games, St. Louis lost five of seven games. In the past, even Chicago by a score of 2:6.

Analysts of bookmaker companies favor Seattle in the upcoming meeting, and we agree with them. However, the Kraken open the NHL season at home, and in front of their fans to lose in the first match is not very good. In addition, the day before, in the control game of the preseason, Seattle beat Edmonton with a score of 6:2, but St. Louis had great difficulty in the battle with Chicago (2:6).
