Penguins, Kraken Going To Battle on Saturday Night
Struggling Teams Set for Showdown in Seattle
Unfamiliar foes are going to meet Saturday night as the Seattle Kraken face the Pittsburgh Penguins. Each of these teams is trying to get things turned back around after struggling to play some good hockey over the last few weeks.
Pittsburgh comes into this game having lost three games, and all of those losses have been on the road. The Penguins are 4-3-1, and they need to get things turned around.
Seattle has gone 2-3 over its last five games, and it hasn’t mattered the location of these games. The Kraken are not a team with high expectations in 2022-23, but they do have some talent to provide a challenge to any team.
The NHL lines for this game have the Pittsburgh Penguins as the moneyline favorites at -160.
Let’s check the latest NHL odds, stats, injury reports, and NHL lines for Penguins vs Kraken. We’ve plenty of NHL betting odds for you to consider.
Penguins Have Plenty of Weapons
After a third straight loss, Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan said, “I just don’t think we’re putting a 60-minute effort together, and it’s hard to win in this league when you don’t.” Pittsburgh has all of the talent needed to go on a big run, but they have to figure out how to play harder.
The Penguins are scoring 3.88 goal per game this season, and they are once again being led by a future Hall of Fame player. Sidney Crosby is having a big start to the 2022-23 season, as he leads the team with four goals and seven assists.
Goaltender Tristan Jarry will be in net on Saturday night for the Penguins, and he has gone 4-2. Pittsburgh has allowed nine power-play goals this NHL season, and they need to give Jarry some help in this game.
Seattle Must Solve Special Teams
The Seattle Kraken have some strange special teams numbers, and it’s one reason that they have struggled to be consistent. Seattle has managed to score 10 power-play goals, but the Kranken have also given up 11 goals on the penalty kill.
Martin Jones gets most of the starts in net for the Kraken, and he is 3-3-1 while also allowing 3.45 goals against. Seattle is giving up nearly four goals per game, and they tend to fall apart in games where they lose.
Jared McCann has been the leader on offense for Seattle this season, as he has scored five goals and dished out three assists. It’s going to take a solid offensive effort from the Kraken to win this matchup.
Penguins vs Kraken Head-to-Head
You won’t see a ton of recent scores and odds between the Penguins and Kraken since Seattle just came into the league. These two teams split the only two games they have ever played, with those two battles coming a season ago.

Penguins vs Kraken Prediction
The Kraken continue to give up way too many goals, and that’s going to allow the Penguins to strike early and often. There should be plenty of offense, and most of that will be done by the visitors.
Head to BetUS Sportsbook and not only take the Penguins moneyline bet, but take Pittsburgh on the puck line at -1½ as they win this game by at least two goals.
