Canadiens Aim to Cool Off Kraken
The Seattle Kraken are coming off a 5-1 loss to the Florida Panthers but that was just their first loss in eight games. They had been one of the hottest teams in the league with a seven-game winning streak before that.
On Tuesday, they’ll host the Montreal Canadiens, who have hit a rough patch. Those who bet online have seen the Canadiens lose two straight, which is part of a sluggish 4-5-1 record in their last 10 games.
Can the Kraken cash in on the NHL betting odds or will the Canadiens pull the upset in the sportsbook? Let’s take a closer look.
Let’s check the latest NHL odds, stats, injury reports, and NHL lines for Canadiens vs Kraken. We’ve plenty of NHL betting odds for you to consider.
Montreal Can’t Close Games
One thing that’s been an issue most of the season has been the Montreal Canadiens’ inability to close out games. Against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday, they jumped out to a 4-0 lead.
However, they quickly crumbled after that and wound up losing that game in overtime 7-6. That really stings the morale for a young, developing roster.
As you might imagine, goaltending let them down in that spot and it continues to be an Achilles heel. It’s anticipated that Jake Allen will be the man in the crease on Tuesday.
He’s been barely passable with a 7-9-0 record and a 3.51 goals-against average. He’s lost three out of his last four starts, giving up 15 total goals in his last four losses, and needs to play better.

Kraken Seven-Game Streak Ends
Seattle was putting together a run that the franchise hadn’t seen since its introduction into the NHL. The Kraken’s seven-game winning streak now stands as a franchise record but it came to an end in the 5-1 loss to Florida.
The Kraken were bound to have a bad night eventually. Starting goaltender Philipp Grubauer allowed five goals on 28 shots after holding teams to just two goals in each of his last three starts.
Overall, this team is surging up the standings and is going to be a very tough team to beat. Especially now that they’ve gotten that loss out of the way.
