Hurricanes Rolling Into Seattle
Carolina holds a 38-15-6 record and is 15-7-4 away from home. They recently won over Detroit 5-2, Tampa Bay 5-4, the Rangers 2-0, Ottawa 4-3, and Los Angeles 3-2 in overtime. The Hurricanes are riding a strong winning streak.
The Hurricanes average 3.41 goals per game and allow just 2.83 goals against. They generate 31.9 shots per game while limiting opponents to 24.4 shots. Their power play has produced 39 goals at a 21.9% rate, and they have allowed 32 power play goals with an 80.4% penalty kill.
Carolina’s biggest advantage is their shot suppression. Allowing just 24.4 shots per game while producing nearly 32 creates a strong puck possession edge. Combined with six short handed goals and none allowed, they are excelling in all phases.

Kraken Fighting for Consistency
Seattle comes in at 28-22-9 overall and 15-9-5 at home. Recently they lost to St. Louis 5-1 and Dallas 4-1 but earned wins over Los Angeles 4-2 and Vegas 3-2. They also lost to Anaheim 4-2. The Kraken have struggled to string together wins.
Seattle averages 2.81 goals per game and allows 2.93 goals against. They produce 25.2 shots per game while allowing 29.3 shots. Their power play has scored 37 goals at a 22.0% rate, but they have allowed 46 power play goals and hold just a 71.4% penalty kill.
The Kraken’s penalty kill has been a significant weakness. Allowing 46 power play goals and killing penalties at 71.4% will be problematic against a team like Carolina that generates heavy shot volume.
Carolina Hurricanes vs Seattle Kraken Pick
Carolina Hurricanes vs Seattle Kraken Pick
- Pick: Carolina Hurricanes Moneyline
Carolina’s puck possession, defensive metrics, and current form give them a clear edge. Seattle’s penalty kill struggles and recent defensive lapses make it difficult to trust them in this matchup.
Carolina Hurricanes vs Seattle Kraken Total Pick
- Pick: Over (if total is set at 6.5)
I like the over here because Carolina is averaging 3.41 goals per game and generating nearly 32 shots per contest. With Seattle allowing 29.3 shots per game and struggling on the penalty kill, I expect the Hurricanes to contribute heavily to the scoring.
Final Score Prediction: Carolina Hurricanes 4, Seattle Kraken 2
