Game Overview
The Seattle Kraken host the Columbus Blue Jackets in a cross-conference matchup. Seattle enters as the slight favorite with a 7-4-4 record, while Columbus arrives with a 7-7-1 record and recent struggles. This is the teams' first meeting of the 2024-25 season, with each team having won at home in their previous two-game set.
Key Factors to Consider
- Seattle Kraken have won 2 of their last 5 games and maintain a respectable record. Columbus Blue Jackets have won only 1 of their last 5 games and are in concerning form, having lost 4 straight games including defeats to Vancouver (4-3), Calgary (5-1), and New York Islanders (3-2). The Blue Jackets are averaging 3.13 goals per game while allowing 3.33 goals per game. Seattle lost their last outing 2-1 to Dallas but has shown better overall consistency.
- In their previous head-to-head matchup, Columbus defeated Seattle 6-2 at home. Historically, the Kraken have won 5 of the previous 8 meetings between these teams. However, each team has demonstrated the ability to win convincingly at home, suggesting venue matters significantly in this matchup.
- No specific injury information is provided in available data.
- The Blue Jackets are playing without rest, having visited Edmonton on Monday night (losing 5-4 in OT). This back-to-back travel situation provides a competitive disadvantage. The game is in Seattle, a strong home environment. The game features an over/under of 6.5 goals, indicating moderate scoring expectations.
- Seattle seeks to maintain home dominance and has favorable odds support from the betting market. Columbus is desperate to end a four-game losing streak but faces fatigue from travel and emotional drain of consecutive losses.
