Washington Capitals vs Seattle Kraken Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/27/26

The late slate on Tuesday night in the NHL brings us action between the Washington Capitals and Seattle Kraken. Both teams have produced mediocre records so far this season, but both have their sights on a playoff berth. This should be a hard-fought, intra-conference game, and here is a Capitals vs Kraken prediction.

These teams have been highly inconsistent lately, so it is hard to gauge which version we will see from each. One consistent trend has been high scores. Seattle has seen 6 of its last 8 games finish with at least 6 total goals, while Washington has seen 4 of its last 5 games end with at least 7 total goals. With the volatility from these teams and an expected urgency to win, I believe we may be in for some chaos. Washington scores at a decent pace, but with the talent on that team I think the Caps can fill the net on any given night — especially against Seattle. As for the Kraken offensively, you won’t see them high on the list of goals per game — but their 10th-best powerplay facing Washington’s 10h-worst penalty kill could increase offensive production. For this Capitals vs Kraken prediction, let’s back the over.
