Seattle Kraken vs Utah Prediction: Utah has been fantastic on the road

Prediction for the NHL Seattle Kraken vs Utah match will occur on December 31. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

To be honest, Seattle's season has not been very good. The Kraken have managed just 16 wins and 21 losses in 37 games, leaving them in 12th place in the Western Conference standings with 34 points. With a record like that, it's hard to believe that Dan Bylsma will be able to get his charges into the playoffs. Seattle went into the Christmas break on a disappointing five-game losing streak but came out with a magnificent comeback to beat Vancouver 5:4 in overtime.

Speaking of Utah, they're having a pretty good campaign. Let's not forget that they're new to the NHL, but they're a Wild Card contender right from the start. Andre Tourigny's men have 16 wins and 19 losses from 35 games, giving them 38 points and tenth place in the Western Conference. Before Christmas, Utah lost in a shootout to Anaheim 4:3 and in regulation time to Dallas 3:2. They then lost 4:1 to Colorado after the break.

We suggest backing Utah. The NHL rookie is the favorite here, and we think he will justify that status. It's Seattle's second day of back-to-back games, while Utah has had 24 hours more to rest and prepare for the game ahead. That could be a key factor. We also note that the Kraken are frankly terrible at home, with five losses in their last six games speaking for themselves. On the other hand, Utah has been fantastic on the road, winning seven in a row.
