Seattle Kraken @ Utah Hockey Club Preview

Both teams enter this game with momentum, having secured wins in their previous outings. The Utah Hockey Club defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 in their last game, with standout performances from Clayton Keller and goalie Karel Vejmelka, who posted an impressive .970 save percentage. Meanwhile, the Seattle Kraken are coming off a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, showcasing their defensive resilience and strong goaltending from Joey Daccord.

Statistically, the Kraken have averaged 3.3 goals per game over their last 10 contests, with a powerplay efficiency of 9.8%. Jared McCann has been a key contributor, tallying 13 points (4 goals, 9 assists) in that span. On the other hand, Utah has averaged 2.8 goals per game with an 11.4% powerplay efficiency, led by Logan Cooley and Clayton Keller, who have combined for 15 points in their last 10 games.

Utah holds a slight edge due to their home advantage and better overall record, but Seattle's recent form and defensive improvements make this a closely contested matchup.

Pick: Under 6 Total Goals (-123)

This game is expected to be a low-scoring affair, given the recent defensive performances of both teams. Joey Daccord has been stellar in goal for Seattle, with a 2.13 GAA and .925 save percentage over the last 10 games. Similarly, Karel Vejmelka has been solid for Utah, and their penalty-killing efficiency of 87.2% could limit Seattle's scoring opportunities. With both teams averaging fewer than 3.5 goals per game recently, the under is a strong play.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Jared McCann Over 0.5 Points (-)

widget-props-nhl-5612-2231328

Jared McCann has been a consistent offensive force for Seattle, recording 13 points in his last 10 games. With Utah's defense allowing 3.6 goals per game over the same span, McCann is well-positioned to contribute offensively.

2. Clayton Keller Anytime Goal Scorer (+135)

Clayton Keller has been a standout for Utah, scoring 26 goals this season and netting one in their last game. With Seattle's defense ranked 23rd in goals against, Keller has a strong chance to find the back of the net.

3. Jordan Eberle Under 1.5 Shots on Goal (-123)

Jordan Eberle has failed to cover this line in his last five road games. With Utah's defense limiting shot opportunities, this trend is likely to continue.
