The Arizona Coyotes and Seattle Kraken meet Monday in NHL action at the Climate Pledge Arena. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Arizona Coyotes are averaging 2.8 goals per game and are scoring on 19.5 percent of their power play opportunities. Clayton Keller leads Arizona with 36 goals, Matias Maccell has 34 assists and Barrett Hayton has 167 shots on goal. Defensively, the Arizona Coyotes are allowing 3.5 goals per game and are killing 75.4 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Karel Vejmelka has given up 159 goals on 1,613 shots faced, and Connor Ingram has allowed 89 goals on 960 shots.
The Seattle Kraken are averaging 3.5 goals per game and are scoring on 19.2 percent of their power play opportunities. Jared McCann leads Seattle with 35 goals, Vince Dunn has 48 assists, and Oliver Bjorkstrand has 185 shots on goal. Defensively, the Seattle Kraken are allowing 3.1 goals per game and are killing 75.1 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Philipp Grubauer has given up 92 goals on 828 shots faced, and Martin Jones has allowed 126 goals on 1,109 shots.
The Coyotes are 11-40 in their last 51 road games and 32-67 in their last 99 overall. The Kraken are 1-5 in their last 6 home games and 0-4 in their last 4 Monday games. The over is 4-0 in Coyotes last 4 overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Kraken last 5 overall.
The Arizona Coyotes have been fade material all year, and they’ve been even worse on the road. The Seattle Kraken are due for a victory at home, and they’re a win or two away from clinching a playoff spot. Backing the Coyotes isn’t an option. Give me the Kraken and the PL for max betting value.
