St. Louis Blues at Seattle Kraken Betting Preview

The 2022-23 NHL season is really starting to heat up, and there is a pretty big slate of games on the schedule on Tuesday night. The Seattle Kraken host the St. Louis Blues and this is a battle of two teams that can really score the puck.

St. Louis comes into this game having rattled off four straight wins and they are playing their way back into the playoff race. The Blues are a veteran team, and they are starting to hit their stride at a very important time.

Seattle comes into this game having won just two of their last five games, but they are still one of the best teams in the Western Conference. The Kraken do have some momentum after picking up a big win over the Winnipeg Jets in their most recent game. 

The Seattle Kraken are the moneyline betting favorites in this game as the betting line is set at -165. 

Blues Giving Up Goals

The St. Louis Blues might be playing great hockey of late, but they are still a team that needs to be better on the defensive end of the ice. St. Louis comes into Tuesday night allowing over 3.5 goals per game, and that just makes it difficult to win on a consistent basis. 

Jordan Kyrou has been the biggest offensive weapon for the Blues this season as he leads the way with 16 goals and 32 total points. St. Louis is scoring over three goals per game, and they have been coming up with a ton of big goals of late. 

The Blues will try to speed up the tempo in this game, but that is also going to create some issues against a solid Seattle team. 

Kraken Explosive on Offense

The Seattle Kraken were one of the worst teams in the NHL a season ago, but they have turned things around in a hurry. Seattle comes into this game scoring 3.4 goals per game, and they are scoring on the power play over 22 percent of the time.

Jared McCann leads the team with 14 goals on the year, but there is talent up and down this lineup. The Kraken are a much better offensive team at home, and the crowd will be energized for this game.

Goaltender Martin Jones has gone 13-5-2 in net this season, and he is allowing less than three goals per game. Jones will need to set the tone in this game against a Blues team with a ton of momentum. 

Kraken Come Up With Win

It was a slow start to the season for the St. Louis Blues, but they have been able to bounce back in a big way. They have rattled off three straight road wins, but they are now facing a Kraken team in Seattle that looks to be for real.

There are going to be plenty of goals scored in this game, and it will be a matchup that is extremely fun to watch. In the end, it’s going to be the Kraken that come up with a clutch goal late to give them a chance to pick up a win on Tuesday night. 

Bet the Seattle Kraken –165 as they come up with an impressive home win over the St. Louis Blues.
