Wild vs. Kraken Preview
The history here is ugly for Seattle. Minnesota is 11-3-1 all-time against the Kraken and has won the last five meetings. Seattle hasn’t beaten the Wild since October 2024.
Seattle keeps surprising people, though. Despite being an underdog in every game but one this season, the Kraken are 7-3-1 and have been one of the most profitable moneyline bets, already +4 units based on Action Network consensus odds.
Meanwhile, Minnesota comes in with a few issues. Maxim Shabanov is day-to-day after missing Thursday’s loss in Calgary, and he’s been a big part of the Wild’s depth. His all-Russian line with Danila Yurov and Yakov Trenin has allowed Minnesota to load up the top line with Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Matt Boldy. Without him, the lineup isn’t nearly as balanced.
Special teams have been a problem, too. The Wild went 0-for-4 on the power play in Calgary, and a penalty kill that started the season hot has allowed five power-play goals in the last two games.
The net is also worth watching with Minnesota in Vancouver tomorrow. Jesper Wallstedt has been excellent at 6.9 goals saved above expected with a .915 save percentage, but he’s made 10 starts through the Wild's first 11 games.
If the Wild save him for tomorrow, Calvin Pickard would get the start. Pickard has made one start this season and allowed five goals on 25 shots.
Minnesota is the more talented team, but this is a good price on a Seattle team that keeps finding ways to win.
Pick: Kraken Moneyline (+128, FanDuel)
