Rangers bring a strong penalty kill, but a poor road record

New York enters at 9-7-1 overall but just 1-5-1 on the road. Its penalty kill has been a strength at 90.6%, a potentially important counter to Seattle’s power play. The Rangers allow 2.88 goals per game, and Adam Fox leads the team with 21 points.

The Rangers’ two most recent completed games were home wins over Philadelphia and St. Louis, both by 3-2 or 3-1 margins. Those results followed defeats to Edmonton and Los Angeles in which New York conceded four and six goals. Its latest road game was a 7-4 loss at Ottawa. The recent wins suggest the Rangers can manage tight games, but the defensive swings in the losses leave a question for this trip: can they keep Seattle from turning sustained pressure into another high-scoring night?

Kraken look to make home ice matter

Seattle is 9-5-1 overall and 5-2-0 at home, a meaningful contrast with New York’s road mark. The Kraken score 3.47 goals per game, but allow 3.53 and have killed 65.0% of penalties. Their offense can create problems; protecting a lead and surviving shorthanded stretches look less certain.

Seattle’s latest completed game was a 2-1 home win over Calgary, a tighter performance than several of its other recent results. The Kraken also beat Toronto 5-4 and Utah 5-3 at home, showing they can win when games open up. But Minnesota scored five in a Seattle home loss, and Calgary scored six against the Kraken on the road. Those results make the matchup less straightforward than the home record suggests: Seattle has found different ways to win, yet its recent losses show how costly defensive breakdowns can be.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Seattle Kraken.

Seattle’s home record and New York’s road struggles make the Kraken the pick. The Rangers’ strong penalty kill could limit one Seattle avenue, while the Kraken’s own defensive record leaves room for an upset.
