Islanders vs Kraken Predictions and Picks
"The Islanders bring stronger recent form and a more reliable defensive structure into this matchup. Seattle's struggles on the penalty kill and recent losing streak make this a tough spot against a disciplined Islanders team that thrives in low-margin games. Backing the Islanders is the safer play." — Kim Smith, Picks and Parlays
"Let's keep riding the hot hand here as the Islanders are playing some good hockey, winners of six of their last 10 games. They'll have the defensive edge in this game vs. a Seattle team that's dropped four straight and has given up at least four goals in three straight." — Chris Vasile, Covers
"The Islanders and Kraken have both been pleasant surprises around the hockey world this season .... The play has been sloppy lately, though. The Islanders have traded wins and losses for seven games, seemingly either scoring 4+ goals or allowing 4+ goals during that stretch and longer .... It has not been very pretty for Seattle in the last week either ... Seattle has the ability to produce but has also shown recently they can be prone to allowing goals in bunches as well." — Ryan Hodges, Pickswise
