Why The Kraken Will Cover The Spread

The Kraken are 11-14-9 and are battling to stay alive in the playoff race. Ultimately, they are finding ways to score but are inconsistent and have games with long droughts. The Kraken are 26th in scoring and shooting percentage. Likewise, they are 18th on the powerplay. Oliver Bjorkstrand leads the team with 10 goals and 16 assists, including three powerplay markers. Meanwhile, Vince Dunn has four goals and 21 assists, including two powerplay markers. Eeil Tolvanen has nine goals and 12 assists. Also, Jared McCann has 14 goals and six assists, including six powerplay tallies. But he missed Wednesday's game with an injury.

The Kraken are 23rd in goals allowed. Also, they are 17th in goals against. Dacord will likely get the start and comes in with a record of 6-5-8 with a 2.56 goals-against average and a save percentage of .911.

The Kraken will cover the spread if they can take advantage of the Ducks' mistakes and convert on their scoring chances early. Then, they must avoid taking penalties to give the Ducks any chances.

Why The Ducks Will Cover The Spread

The Ducks were already struggling to score, and it might get worse with Carlsson out. However, there is a chance Trevor Zegras returns tonight, as he has been sidelined for weeks. The Ducks need him as they are 29th in goals and 25th in shooting percentage. Meanwhile, they are 15th on the powerplay. Frank Vatrano needs to do well, as he has not scored in eight straight games. Overall, he has 14 goals and nine assists, including five markers on the powerplay. Mason McTavish has 10 goals and 11 assists. Additionally, he is a faceoff wizard, winning 196 draws and losing 153. Troy Terry continues to struggle and has eight goals and 12 assists, including three powerplay markers. Also, Adam Henrique has 10 goals and eight assists, including four powerplay tallies. Henrique has won 231 faceoffs and lost 213. Meanwhile, Jaime Drysdale is back and will look to resume his scoring.

The Ducks are 25th in goals allowed and 14th on the penalty kill. While Lukas Dostal had an amazing performance the other night to keep the Ducks in the game, John Gibson will likely get the start tonight. Gibson will need to cover the angles and stop the shoulder-high shots, which is his weakness.

The Ducks will cover the spread if they can put shots on the net and then take the early lead. Then, they need to avoid making mistakes.

Final Kraken-Ducks Prediction & Pick
