Seattle Kraken vs Boston Bruins Analysis
Seattle is 28th in goals per game (2.7) and 24th in shots (28.9), but they’ve been a solid team defensively all season, which has certainly helped the Seattle Kraken standings.

The Boston Bruins have been among the best NHL teams all season, especially on home ice, where they’re 17-6-4.

Brian Dumoulin is day-to-day with a lower body injury for Seattle, while Matthew Poitras is on the NHL injury report for the Bruins.
Seattle Kraken vs Boston Bruins Betting Picks
Boston has consistently been among the best NHL teams at home all season and, given they’ve now dropped two straight at TD Garden, they’ll be a hungry and tough team to beat on Thursday. Pastrnak is also a good pick to score for the Kraken vs Bruins picks and parlays as he is on a season-long four-game goalless drought and is due to break out of it. He hadn’t gone more than two games without a goal this year before this stretch.
The under has hit in 17 of the Kraken’s 29 road games and 16 of the Bruins’ 27 home games.
