Vegas Golden Knights vs Seattle Kraken Betting Analysis
Huge Pacific Division clash late on Friday as the streaking Seattle Kraken, who’ve won eight of their last ten games outright, travel over to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to take on the Vegas Golden Knights in a big one vs. two matchup later tonight.
With Vegas in some solid form right now as well, winning twelve of their last fifteen games overall, this sets up an exciting head-to-head clash between these two for supremacy on Friday.
Both teams played each other four times last season, with Vegas winning every encounter by a combined 16-7 scoreline. The Golden Knights also took the opener this year as well with a 5-2 win against the Kraken last month.
Seattle’s Surprising Start Has Led To Big Windfalls For Early Backers
Back in the summer, the Seattle Kraken were going off at around 150/1 at most sportsbooks to win this year’s Stanley Cup, and their extremely positive start to this season’s campaign has seen those odds drop dramatically to around the 30/1 mark at the time of writing.
That hot start has taken bettors and sportsbooks alike by surprise this season as only three teams have shown to be more profitable on the year overall than the Seattle Kraken have been.
Vegas Getting It Done On Both Sides Of The Puck
Vegas rank as only one of three teams that rank top five in the league in both scoring offense and scoring defense this season, the others being the Boston Bruins and the New Jersey Devils, so the Golden Knights are in some good company when it comes to getting it done at either end of the ice this year.
However, their underlying data looks even better, with Vegas ranking as the #1 team in the league right now on overall offensive xG.
Vegas Golden Knights vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
While the Kraken have gotten off to a very positive start this year overall, the fact remains that Vegas have absolutely owned this series since Seattle became a franchise, not just winning outright against them, but also covering four of their last five by multiple goals as well.
With the data backing up those already explosive numbers for Vegas this season, we expect them to continue that run here and get the win and cover at home on Friday against an over-matched Seattle Kraken team in this one.
Take the Vegas Golden Knights to win and cover on the puck line on Friday against the Seattle Kraken over in the Pacific Division.
Prediction: Vegas Golden Knights Puckline (+135)
