The debut season for the Kraken has not been easy so far. The team came to the match with Montreal after 4 defeats in a row, including the loss in the main time to not the most powerful opponents, New Jersey and Vancouver. All the more valuable was the Kraken's confident 5-1 victory over the Canadiens. Brandon Tanev scored the double-double and already has 5 goals on the season.
Minnesota successfully began their road trip
The game in Seattle will be the second away match for Minnesota. The Wild will travel from Oregon to Denver to face Colorado before heading back home. The first game of the tour brought the Wild a victory – Dean Evason's team handled Vancouver. Zuccarello, Brodin and Dumba made it 3-2. Kirill Kaprizov had no scoring chances. The Russian star has yet to score but has already made five assists.

Expert Betting Tips
Minnesota is looking very strong at the start of the championship. Kirill Kaprizov hasn't started scoring yet. So far, the Wild has suffered only one defeat, failing to beat Nashville 2-5 at home. Another loss is very unlikely. Seattle is clearly not the kind of opponent that can guarantee to take away points from the current Wild.
Prediction: Minnesota will win.
Betting options:
- Minnesota To Win for 1.78;
- Handicap Minnesota (0) for 1.86.
