Match Details
- Date: 2025-10-29
- Time: 2:30 AM UTC
- Location: Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle, WA, USA
Game Overview
The Seattle Kraken host the Montreal Canadiens in an NHL matchup. Seattle enters with a 5-2-2 record, showing strong recent form and solid against-the-spread performance, while Montreal is 7-3-0 with a slightly better offensive average but key injuries present.
Key Factors to Consider
- Seattle is 3-2 in their last five games and undefeated 5-0 against the spread over that span, performing well on the road historically. Montreal has a stronger overall record (7-3-0) and higher goals for average (3.55) but are impacted by injuries.
- Seattle has had recent success covering spreads against Montreal, but explicit recent head-to-head win-loss records were not fully available. Both teams appear competitive, with Seattle likely benefiting from home advantage.
- Seattle is missing key players including Patrik Laine (abdomen, out until February) and Kaiden Guhle (lower body), while Montreal is missing Frederick Gaudreau, Jared McCann (questionable for this game), Kaapo Kakko, and Ryker Evans, impacting their offensive and defensive depth.
- The game will be played at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, favoring the Kraken. Recent betting splits show balanced public money but Kraken covering more often recently, indicating strong market confidence.
- Both teams are early in the season and motivated to cement playoff positioning, but Seattle’s recent success against the spread and home advantage likely increase their motivation to continue strong form.
