Pittsburgh Penguins vs Seattle Kraken Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/19/26

The Pittsburgh Penguins will take on the Seattle Kraken Monday. Both teams come into this one losing 4 of their last 5 games. The biggest difference is that the Penguins have only given up 12 goals over the past 5 games while the Kraken have given up 18 goals. Looking a little deeper into the Kraken statistics, they have lost 6 of their last 10 at home. While the defense has been a concern, the Kraken offense ranks 30^th in shots on goal and 25^th with just 2.74 goals per game. These struggles on offense may prove to be a concern against a Penguins team that ranks 12^th in save percentage and 10^th in fewest shots against them all season.

For the Penguins, the last 5 games have not given their offensive play justice. They have won 3 of their last 4 away games and have scored 16 goals in that time. On the season, they are averaging 3.17 goals per game on 28.9 shots. Additionally, the Penguins score on 28.7% of power plays while ranking 5^th in total power play goals. This could make a difference in this game considering the Kraken have the worst power play defense in the NHL. Overall, I believe the Penguins offense will be too much for the Kraken to handle. I am taking the Penguins on the money line.
