Seattle Kraken vs Nashville Predators Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/19/26

The Seattle Kraken will take on the Nashville Predators Thursday night. Both teams come into this one motivated as the Kraken hold the last spot in the playoffs right now and the Predators are only 2 points behind them. The Kraken have been on a steady decline, losing 5 of their last 7 games overall. In 4 of those losses, they were held to 2 or fewer goals. Scoring has been a problem all season for the Kraken as they only average 2.87 goals per game. The Kraken also rank 27^th this season in shots on goal, averaging just 25.5 shots per game. This depleted form and offense does not look good for the playoff run.

For the Predators, they have won 6 of their last 10 at home. In their last 5 home games, they have scored 23 goals. This home form can be very motivating for them with the final playoff spot within reach. Additionally, the Predators have the better power play percentage and penalty kill percentage between these teams. I suspect that it will be a tight game but that the Kraken will continue to struggle offensively with the Predators at home. I am taking the Predators on the money line.
