Chicago Blackhawks vs Seattle Kraken Betting Preview
It has been another frustrating season for the Chicago Blackhawks. Despite their recent win over the Islanders, they continue to sit at the bottom of the NHL standings. The Blackhawks are 31st in offense, with 2.17 goals scored, and 29th in defense, allowing 3.53 per game.
Offensively, the Blackhawks are 31st in shots and have the worst power play in the league. Of course, Chicago is without their prized possession Connor Bedard with an injury. Bedard still leads the team with 18 assists and 15 goals on the season. In between the pipes is likely Petr Mrazek in this game. He is 12-17-1 on the season.
Chicago will continue on the road after this one. The Blackhawks are at the Oilers on Thursday, and then play at the Flames on Saturday.
Seattle is dying to get back on track. After winning the first five games of 2024, including a Winter Classic shutout over Vegas, they have now dropped four in a row. During the four-game losing streak, Seattle has allowed a total of 15 goals and scored just 5.
The Seattle Kraken on the season are scoring just 2.74 per game. That ranks 27th in the league. Defensively, they are 11th, allowing 2.89 per game. The top scorer for Seattle has been Oliver Bjorkstrand, but he is out for this game. He has 36 points on the season, while Vince Dunn is next with 35.
Next for Seattle is a home game against the Blues on Friday and the Blue Jackets on Sunday. The Kraken will end January on Tuesday with a trip to San Jose.
