Montreal Canadiens at Seattle Kraken Preview & Picks

Montreal are tipped to win as an underdog in Seattle.

The Canadiens have been playing some good hockey recently, while the Kraken are in poor form and have been hit or miss at home this season.

  • Montreal Canadiens are 6-2 in their last 8 games
  • Seattle Kraken are 2-5 in their previous 7 games
  • Montreal Canadiens are 2-1 in their last 3 visits to Seattle
  • The Over cashed in the previous meeting this season

Head To Head

  • Seattle Kraken lead the all-time series 4-3
  • Seattle Kraken won 8-2 when the two teams last met on October 29

Montreal Canadiens Form

Montreal head to Seattle having rebounded from a couple of defeats with their sixth victory in their last eight games.

The Canadiens entered the mid-season break on a three-game losing skid, but turned things around when they regular season resumed.

They snapped their skid with a 5-2 victory in Ottawa, and backed that up at home as they downed Carolina 4-0 and San Jose 4-3 in overtime.

Montreal then won back-to-back meetings with Buffalo, 4-2 in regulation on the road and 4-3 in overtime at home.

The Canadiens’ run was ended by a 3-2 overtime loss in Edmonton and a 1-0 defeat at Calgary, but they bounced back last night by beating Vancouver 4-2.

Seattle Kraken Form

Seattle enter this matchup on a rough run of form, having now tasted defeat in five of their last seven games.

The Kraken won either side of the mid-season break, beating Calgary 3-2 in overtime and Florida 2-1 in regulation, but they have not strung together wins since then.

They dropped back-to-back road games, 4-1 in Tampa and 7-2 at St Louis, before returning home to beat Vancouver 6-3.

Seattle failed to follow that up as they lost 4-3 to Minnesota and 5-3 in Nashville, but they avoided a third straight loss as they downed Philadelphia on the road, 4-1.

The Kraken again failed to follow up a victory though, as they were beaten 4-2 in Washington.

Verdict

Montreal are the team in better form heading into this matchup, notching some wins on the road.

That makes the Canadiens an appealing option with the plus-money in this game.
