The New Jersey Devils and Seattle Kraken face off on Thursday in an NHL showdown at Climate Pledge Arena. The home team has won the last two games between the two teams. Last April it was Seattle that won 4-3 in a shootout. 

Devils Preview

The Devils come into this game with a 29-12-3 record overall and they have gone 18-2-1 away from home. In the last game against the San Jose Sharks it took overtime to get the job done but they were able to secure the 4-3 victory. Jesper Bratt finished the game with two assists. The Devils are averaging 3.52 goals while their defense is giving up 2.61 goals per game. The offense is ranked 6th while the defense is ranked 3rd. Jack Hughes has scored 29 goals and added 26 assists. 

Kraken Preview

On the other side of this matchup is the Kraken who sit with a 26-14-4 record overall and they have gone 10-9-2 at home. In the last game against the Edmonton Oilers the defense gave up five goals and that led to the defeat. Seattle is averaging 3.66 goals while their defense is giving up 3.14 goals per game. The offense is ranked4th but the defense hasn’t been good enough at times, like in the last game. Andre Burakovsky has scored 12 goals and added 25 assists so far this season. 

Devils and Kraken Trends

The Devils are 11-0 in their last 11 games against the Pacific. The over is 6-0 in the Devils last six games. The under is 5-0-1 in the Kraken’s last six games as a home underdog. The over is 4-0 in the Devils last four road games. 

Pick

The Devils are going to get the job done here. These two teams have similar offenses the big difference is with the defense. The Devils are giving up only 2.61 goals per game and their defense is going to lock down in this game, and their offense will attack a Seattle defense that was awful in their last game. Back New Jersey on the money line. I am also throwing a few dollars on New Jersey -1.5 to cash.
