Preview
The Minnesota Wild sit second in the Central division and take their 5-1 record to Seattle to face NHL newcomers the Kraken. The Seattle franchise has begun its NHL tenure in modest fashion. The team sits fifth in the Pacific division at 2-4-1.
Minnesota won their last game over the Canucks after losing to the Predators and snapping the four-game winning streak which began their season. They're tenth in the league in scoring with 20 goals and rank 17th in defense which is middle-of-the-pack conceding three goals per game and 18 in total. Mats Zuccarello leads the team with seven points for the season.
The Kraken is in the bottom quadrant of the league in goals against per game and 21st in goals per game. Jared McCann is the team's point leader with seven points. The team is on a one-game winning streak thrashing the Canadiens 5-1 at home in its last game. That win got them back on track from a three-game losing slide
Prediction
Seattle redeemed themselves in their last home game with a but lost their inaugural home game in the league. The Wild is a better team offensively and defensively and has only one loss for the season. Expect them to win again on the road where they're an easy 3-0 at this point.
PICK: Wild spread -1.5 (+220)
