The Chicago Blackhawks and Seattle hit the ice on Saturday night in the NHL. Part of a 15-game slate, these teams play for the third and final time this season. Can the Kraken sweep the regular-season series, or will Chicago capture a road win? Here is a Blackhawks vs Kraken prediction.
The game total stayed under in each of their 2 meetings this season, and I am expecting the same outcome today. Chicago scores at the second-fewest amount of goals per game (2.54), with Seattle close by with the seventh-lowest rating of 2.80. The 2 teams also take the 2 fewest number of shots in the entire league. We probably won’t see any electric powerplays take place, with Seattle’s 20% and Chicago’s 17.6% operating at below-average marks. No major offensive contributions from these teams are out of the lineup, but there is a very short combined list of players who can promote a high-scoring result. Just 9 goals were scored in the 2 head-to-head contests earlier this season, so I’m taking the under 6.0 for this Blackhawks vs Kraken prediction.
