Carolina Hurricanes vs Seattle Kraken Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/02/26

The Carolina Hurricanes kick off a four-game road trip through the Western Conference, first stopping at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle to face the Kraken at 10 p.m. ET. Carolina edged Seattle 3-2 as heavy favorites on Jan. 10 in Raleigh. The Kraken led 2-1 heading into the third period, but Jordan Martinook leveled the score midway through the third, and William Carrier notched the game-winning goal a few minutes later. Seattle was able to muster just 12 total shots against rookie Brandon Bussi, who ended up making 10 saves to outduel Joey Daccord, who had 33 saves.

We’re projected to see Bussi and Daccord in a rematch. Carolina heads into this road trip on quite the roll, sitting atop the Metropolitan Division. The Canes have won five straight games, including 5.0 goals per game in the first two games since the Olympic break. They’ve also picked up at least one point in 12 in a row, going 10-0-2 in the span since Jan. 16. They’re also 14-1-3 in the previous 18 outings, including the 3-2 victory against the Kraken in Raleigh. Seattle has won four in a row at home, but three of those victories have come against teams not currently inside the playoff picture. Back the Canes, if you’re looking for a same-game parlay, but, more importantly, go Under on the total.

Under 5.5 (+115) at time of publishing. Playable to -110.
