The Vegas Golden Knights and Seattle Kraken face off on Friday in a Western Conference NHL showdown at the Climate Pledge Arena.
These two teams faced off on Wednesday night and it was Vegas that came away with the 3-0 victory. Logan Thompson had a big game for Vegas stopping all 22 shots on the way to the shutout victory.
Vegas Golden Knights
Vegas comes into this game with a 37-28-4 record overall and away from home they have gone 17-15-1. Vegas has won three games in a row and they have scored at least three goals in each of the games. Two games ago against the Chicago Blackhawks, Vegas scored five goals, including the game winner in overtime.
Vegas is averaging 3.12 goals per game while their defense is giving up 2.97 goals per game. Both of those are ranked right in the middle of the NHL but the offense has been better as of late.
Jonathan Marchessault has been the top player for Vegas scoring 26 goals and adding 29 assists. Chandler Stephenson has also often been overlooked but he has scored 17 goals and added 34 assists.
Seattle Kraken
On the other side of this matchup is the Seattle Kraken who sit with a 21-40-6 record overall and they have gone 11-19-3 at home this season. The Kraken have lost two of their last three games, but the one was a big one putting up six goals against the Los Angeles Kings.
In the last game against the Golden Knights, they didn’t get a ton of good scoring chances and couldn’t find the back of the net. Seattle is averaging 2.56 goals per game while their defense is giving up 3.51 goals per game.
One issue for this Seattle team is they really don’t have a star player that they can lean on. Yanni Gourde has been the top player for Seattle scoring 16 goals and adding 23 assists. There are only three players that have racked up at least 30 points.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Vegas is 1-7 against the spread in their last eight road games.
- The over is 6-1 in Vegas last seven games playing on 1 days rest.
- The over is 4-1 in Seattle’s last five games playing on 1 days rest.
Free Vegas Golden Knights vs. Seattle Kraken NHL Prediction:
Vegas had no issues the last game against Seattle, and it’s going to be the case again in this game. Look for Seattle to have issues scoring, and Vegas will score three or four goals again. Seattle wont finish with more than one goal and the Golden Knights will win this game on the puck line. Back Vegas -1.5.
