Thatcher Demko has given up 22 goals on 325 shots faced, and Casey DeSmith has allowed 18 goals on 205 shots.
Randy’s Pick
The Seattle Kraken are having issues finishing games, and the lack of effort defensively makes them hard to trust on the road. The Vancouver Canucks continue to pile up the wins and their offense has been downright ridiculous. The Canucks are in far and away better form, and being at home only helps. The price is a little steep, but I'm still backing the Canucks on their home ice against a slumping Kraken side.
