- This is a play on the SEATTLE KRAKEN for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. The moment has finally arrived for Seattle as it will be making its home debut after playing its first five games on the road. It was not a horrible roadtrip despite going just 1-3-1-0, as the Kraken lost by just one goal twice, including one in overtime and the other coming against Vegas. They seemed to tire at the end of the trip as they were outscored 10-3 in the final two games but they have had three days off prior to the Saturday night game in front of a raucous crowd. One clear positive for Seattle has been its penalty kill as it has allowed just one goal in 10 man down situations. That 90 percent is tied for sixth in the NHL and it just needs to improve in the 5-on-5. Vancouver also started with five straight road games and this will be the sixth in a row before heading home for its opener against Minnesota. The Canucks are 2-2-0-1 and after outshooting their first three opponents, they have been outshot the last two games and they have struggled with their penalty kill with a 71.4 percent success rate which is fifth worst in the league. Going back, the Canucks are 0-7 in their last seven games following a win. Here, we play on home teams with a winning percentage of .300 or worse when the money line is -100 to -150 after having lost four of their last five games, a playing a team with a losing record in the first half of the season. This situation is 70-26 (72.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (34) Seattle Kraken
