Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction, Preview, and Odds

The Toronto Maple Leafs are traveling to Seattle after their loss yesterday to the Vancouver Canucks with a final score of 4-6. This would be the second loss of their four game road trip that finishes tonight in Seattle. Toronto is averaging 3.50 goals per game this season and seems to be relying on that offense to stay in their games. This is due to the Maple Leafs allowing 3.32 goals against per game. While the Maple Leafs do have one of the top powerplays this season, they have won of the worst penalty kills which ranks 27th overall.

Due to us seeing Martin Jones in net against Vancouver, it is likely we see Ilya Samsonov in net for the Maple Leafs. Samsonov has a record this season of 5-3-6 with a goals against average of 3.88 and a save percentage of .863. Samsonov is just not playing well this season and in his last five games has allowed an average of 5.32 goals per game.

The Seattle Kraken are returning home after their another loss on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers with a final score of 2-4. This would be the third loss in a row for the Kraken. Seattle is averaging only 2.78 goals per game this season and in their most recent games, it is not getting much better as they are averaging 1.3 goals per game in their last three. On defense the Kraken are playing well allowing only 2.89 goals per game.

Joey Daccord has been the reason as to why the Kraken are keeping their goals against so low. Daccord has a record this season of 13-7-8 with a goals against average of 2.34 and a save percentage of .922.

Seattle's lack of offense may be due to their injuries. The Kraken are without Matty Beniers, Yanni Gourde, and Vince Dunn. Vince Dunn is second on the team in points this season, with 35 points in 42 games played.

Best Bets

The Maple Leafs are allowing 4.4 goals per game in their last five and I am expecting the same in this matchup. Even if the Kraken are missing some of their offensive players, we are still going to see goals coming from the Kraken. With the Maple Leafs picking up a couple goals on their dominating powerplay this game is shaping up to be a high scoring game. When we factor in both teams averages I am seeing a projected total of Seattle 5 to Toronto 2.
