This is the final game of the season for both teams and they each have something to play for. It should be a playoff-like atmosphere in Seattle which usually means a lower-scoring game.

The Kraken and Golden Knights have been two of the best defensive teams in the league this season. Seattle has the fifth-lowest xGA/60 at 5-on-5 (2.43 per Natural Stat Trick) while Vegas has the 11th-best rate (2.54).

On top of that, both teams have played to the Under in at least half of their games this season. Seattle has had some higher-scoring games recently, but those were against easier opponents in the Chicago Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks, and Arizona Coyotes.

Finally, the last two meetings both had six or fewer goals with Seattle winning 4-2 and Vegas winning 4-1 on Tuesday.

Golden Knights vs. Kraken best odds

DraftKings: Under 6 (+100)

The Under 6 opened at consensus odds of -105 and has largely remained there across the board. It’s moved to +100 at DraftKings, which is where we suggest placing this bet.

FanDuel is offering Under 6.5 at -130 instead if you’re worried about a 4-2 or 5-1 final.

Golden Knights vs. Kraken odds

The moneyline also hasn’t moved much with the Golden Knights between -120 and -128 with the Kraken between +100 and +106.

This lines up with the opening odds of -120 and +100 rather well with Vegas receiving slightly more than half of the wagers thus far.
