The Seattle Kraken will play the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.

The Seattle Kraken are 21-12-4 this season after they defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs by a score of 5-1 in their last game. Seattle was out shot by a total of 27-26 and lost 57.1% of the faceoffs in the game. The Seattle Kraken are averaging 3.54 goals per game, 3.16 goals against per game, 21.8% on the power play, and 68.9% on the penalty kill. Andre Burakovsky has led the Kraken with 10 goals, 19 assists, and 88 shots on goal this season. The projected starting goalie for Seattle is Martin Jones, who is 17-5-3 this season with a 2.85 goals against average and a .893 save percentage.

The Ottawa Senators are 18-17-3 this season after they defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets by a score of 4-0 in their last game. Ottawa out shot Columbus by a total of 34-22 and went 2-6 on the power play in the win. The Ottawa Senators are averaging 3.03 goals per game, 3.05 goals against per game, 28% on the power play, and 82.1% on the penalty kill. Brady Tkachuk has led the Senators with 13 goals, 26 assists, and 165 shots on goal this season. The projected starting goalie for Ottawa is Cam Talbot, who is 10-9-1 this season with a 2.75 goals against average and a .911 save percentage.

Seattle is 9-4 in their last 13 road games and 7-15 in their last 22 Saturday games. The under is 3-0-1 in Seattle’s last 4 Saturday games. Ottawa is 4-1 in their last 5 games and 5-1 in their last 6 home games. The under is 6-0 in Ottawa’s last 6 home games.

Both of these teams have been playing well in recent games, but Seattle has defeated Toronto, Edmonton, and the Islanders in their last three games. Seattle out scored Toronto and Edmonton by a total of 10-3 on the road and will now set their sights on the Senators. With Seattle playing as well as they are, I like them to get the road win.
