Puck Line Pick
MIN Wild -1.5(+105)

The Seattle Kraken will take on the Minnesota Wild Tuesday night. The Kraken are coming off a brutal 6-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. The Kraken have now lost 9 of their last 10 games. At one point the Kraken were in the running for the playoffs but then hit this slump. On the season, they are only averaging 2.79 goals per game on 25.5 shots. This shot average ranks them 31st in the NHL while only scoring on 10.9% of their shots this season. These offensive struggles have been present over the past 10 games as they have only scored 21 goals in that time. Making matters worse, they have given up 44 goals over the last 10 games. The Kraken are on a downhill slope that does not seem to be slowing down.

For the Wild, they have officially advanced to the playoffs. They currently rank 3rd in the Western Conference though they are only 2 points behind the Dallas Stars. On the season the most impressive play for the Wild has been on defense. The Wild defense ranks 4th in the NHL only giving up 2.83 goals per game. The goaltenders rank 2nd in the NHL with a saver percentage of .904 this season. Overall, the Wild are motivated and have an elite defense while the Kraken are sliding and struggle to score. I am taking the Wild on the puck line.

Kraken vs Wild prediction: Wild -1.5 (+105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
