Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 15. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

PIT Penguins

Pittsburgh still can not achieve stability in the results. It would seem that Mike Sullivan has an extremely experienced roster at his disposal, but it's no use. After a very good end to 2024, the Penguins started 2025 just awful, losing six games out of seven. Just the day before, there were two embarrassing defeats - 0:5 from Ottawa and 2:5 from Tampa Bay. It's no surprise that Pittsburgh is already in 12th position in the overall East table with 44 points, and if they keep this up, they'll never see the playoffs.

SEA Kraken

Seattle is doing even worse than Pittsburgh. In two seasons, we've gotten used to the Kraken being very eager for the Wild Card, but things aren't going well in this one. With 39 points, they sit only 13th in the overall Western Conference standings, already a huge ten-point gap to eighth place. They have lost in five of the past six meetings. On the eve they lost to Detroit 2:6.

H2H Meetings

Expert Betting Tips

We suggest staying away from the outcomes in the upcoming bout. Both teams have been down lately, and if they continue to play like this, we can forget about the playoffs as early as February. Now they have a great opportunity to improve the situation at least a little bit, so the match is extremely important. We note that the rivals are productive - in games with Pittsburgh on average 6.4 pucks are scored, and with Seattle 6.0. Therefore, we suggest considering the classic total over as a bet.
