Seattle Kraken vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/24/26

The Seattle Kraken will be hoping to halt a 3-game losing streak when they visit the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. Seattle is coming off consecutive setbacks against Tampa Bay, Nashville and Columbus while falling to 2-7-0 in its past 9 outings. Defensive woes have been the culprit for this team, which is why my Kraken vs Panthers prediction is Over 5.5. Seattle has allowed at least 5 goals in 2 of its past 3 contests. During this 2-7-0 stretch it has also surrendered 5, 4 and 7 goals to the opponent. Philipp Grubauer is expected to be in the net for this matchup after most recently starting against Tampa Bay last Tuesday, when he yielded 5 goals during a 6-2 loss.

Florida is generous defensively, as well. The Panthers have dropped 3 of their last 4 games in those 3 losses they allowed a total of 15 goals. It remains to be seen whether Sergei Bobrovsky or Daniil Tarasov gets the nod on Tuesday. Neither inspires any confidence. Bobrovsky is 37 years old and slowing down to the tune of a 3.00 goals-against average and .879 save percentage; Tarasov is 9-11-2 with a 3.01 goals-against average and .896 save percentage. Tarasov has given up 10 goal in his past 2 appearances. On the bright side for Florida, Matthew Tkachuk is healthy and has delivered 15 points (6 goals, 9 assist) in the last 12 contests.
