Trends
Seattle is 6-1 in their last 7 road games and 2-5 in their last 7 games overall while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 games against the Western Conference. Nashville is 2-5 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record and 5-1 in their last 6 games against the Pacific division while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 games following a win.
Pick
I’m backing Seattle here. The Predators got the win last time these two met a couple of days ago, but the Kraken have been too good on the road to think they’ll drop back-to-back games and Nashville hasn’t been the most consistent team in the league in terms of stringing long-term streaks together. I just don’t see the Kraken getting swept in the back-to-back here, so give me the Kraken on the road here.
