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

The Pittsburgh Penguins will face 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 allowed 18 goals. Looking a little deeper into the Kraken’s statistics, they have lost 6 of their last 10 at home. While the defense has been a concern, the Kraken offense ranks 30th in shots on goal and 25th with just 2.74 goals per game. These struggles on offense may prove to be a concern against a Penguins team that ranks 12th in save percentage and 10th in fewest shots against them all season.

For the Penguins, the last 5 games have not done their offensive play justice. They have won 3 of their last 4 road 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 powerplays while ranking fifth in total powerplay goals. That could make a difference in this game considering the Kraken have the worst powerplay defense in the NHL. Overall, I believe the Penguins’ offense will be too much for the Kraken to handle. I’m taking Pittsburgh on the money line.
