Seattle Kraken vs Ottawa Senators Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/16/25

The Ottawa Senators are looking to rebound after an 8-4 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. Ottawa won the season opener against Tampa Bay, but things have gone down hill since then. The Senators have dropped 3 straight games and are now playing without Brady Tkachuk, who will be sidelined for at least 4 weeks. The good news is that it’s likely that Ottawa faces Seattle backup goaltender Philipp Grubauer in this one after Joey Daccord got the start in Seattle’s first 3 games. Grubauer posted a less-than-ideal 3.49 GAA and .875 save percentage over 26 games last season.

The Kraken have scored 9 goals through 3 games, and are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday. Jared McCann and Vince Dunn are leading the way with 4 points each so far this season. The Kraken don’t necessarily have a superstar forward, but they have solid depth and added a great piece in Mason Marchment over the offseason. Both teams should be able to generate enough scoring chances to take this one over the total. Make it a small play, but look to the over.
