Kraken vs Golden Knights picks, leans and betting odds as Vegas looks to win the Pacific Division
The Pacific Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights host the Seattle Kraken in a late-season tilt where the stakes couldn’t be more different. The Golden Knights enter as comfortable home favorites, and if they pick up at least one point, will clinch the Pacific Division over the rival Edmonton Oilers. The Kraken are eliminated from postseason contention and playing out the string in their second last contest.
Puck drop is set for 7:00 PM PT / 10:00 PM ET Wednesday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with ESPN+ showcasing the coverage in the USA and Sportsnet in Canada.
Golden Knights vs Kraken Best Bets and Predictions
Game Total Pick: Over 6.5 Goals (+110) at DraftKings
While the Golden Knights are gargantuan -298 moneyline favorites against a reeling Kraken squad (+240), laying that kind of juice is rarely a profitable long-term strategy. Instead, bypassing the moneyline and diving into the game total and player prop markets offers a much sharper leverage piece for this late-season affair.
Both of these teams have been absolute magnets for the over lately, making Over 6.5 goals my strongest play on the board.
The over has hit in each of the last five Kraken games as an underdog and it is 4-1 over their last five games overall. The Golden Knights have been consistently finding the back of the net for plenty of markers in their own building. The over has hit in four of the Golden Knights’ last five games at T-Mobile Arena, as well as four of their last five on friendly confines as a favorite.
