Kraken vs. Bruins Key Stats
Kraken have improved a lot in offense, scoring fluently in the last few games of the season. They have a versatile offense with Jared McCann and Matty Beniers involved in 35 goals combined.
Their defense has failed to use the goaltenders' potential, which has hampered their season. But there are signs of improvement with better performances as a team, which provides a big boost to them coming into the game.
Boston have one of the best offensive structures in the league and have scored 154 goals so far this season. David Pastrnak is the star, having scored 30 goals and assisted 26 times this season. With more than six players with goals in double digits, the offense looks well-settled as a group for future games.
Their defense has allowed just 2.15 goals per game, which is a big plus for the team. Goaltenders like Linus Ullmark have made their mark and have led from the front, conceding just 1.87 goals per game this season. The same structure and team play will be crucial as they look to maintain the same approach for the rest of the season.
Seattle Kraken vs Boston Bruins Betting Prediction
Kraken come with a great away record into the game. They have played well as a team in their last six games, winning them all. But their defensive structure has some loopholes, which makes them vulnerable.
On the other hand, with a strong home record, Boston look composed for the challenge. Having scored goals at an extensive rate and with a defense that has worked as a wall, they are very strong as a team for this challenge.
With a winning momentum and better team structure, we should expect Boston to do enough in this game to halt Seattle's winning run.
Prediction : Bruins,-1.5(+110)
