Seattle Kraken vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction 11-14-24 NHL Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Seattle Kraken vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction for this NHL game on Thursday, November 14th, at the Climate Pledge Arena. 

Blackhawks Coming off a Win

The Blackhawks are coming off a win in their last game against the Minnesota Wild. The goaltending was impressive giving up only one goal and that was enough for the victory. Jason Dickinson and Phillip Kurashev each scored a goal for the Blackhawks. Petr Mrazek started in goal and he saved 32 of the 33 shots that he faced. Chicago has been scoring an average of 2.5 goals per game so far this season. Their defense has been allowing just over 3 goals per game. Offensively, Chicago is ranked 26th in the NHL while their defense sits at 12th place. The offense for this team hasn’t been good enough and in the last game, the offense still wasn’t exactly elite. 

Kraken Have Won Two Straight

The Kraken have won two straight games and they have a ton of confidence heading into this game. In the last game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Kraken scored five goals and they ended up winning by three goals. Jared McCann had a strong game scoring a goal and adding an assist. Joey Daccord started in goal and saved 38 of the 40 shots that he faced. In this game, Seattle needs to try to limit the shots on goal. Seattle has averaged exactly 3 goals per game so far, while their defense has been giving up just slightly more than that at 3.13. This puts Seattle in 17th place offensively and 16th place defensively amongst the other teams in the NHL. The Kraken will take on the Islanders after this one.

Why the Kraken Will Beat the Blackhawks

• The Blackhawks have lost each of their last 11 games as underdogs following a home win.
• The home team has won each of the last four games between the Blackhawks and Kraken.
• The Blackhawks have failed to cover the puck line in eight of their last nine games following a home win.
• The favorites have covered the puck line in seven of the Kraken’s last eight games.
• The Blackhawks have lost the third period in each of their last four games at Climate Pledge Arena.

Seattle Kraken vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction

This total is too low. I am not sold on the Blackhawks offense and their offense is going to really struggle to get going here. Their defense was really good in the last game and they are going to step up again here. Neither team is going to score more than three goals here and that is going to be the difference here as this game is going to stay under the total. Back the under to cash with ease.
