Seattle Kraken visit out of form Montreal Canadiens
NHL action moves to Montreal for a matchup between the Canadiens and Kraken. After losing their first game, the Seattle Kraken have won four in a row. The Canadiens have lost 7 of their last 8 contests. So, out-of-form Montreal hosts in-form Seattle at home in the Bell Center on Tuesday night, and here the visitors should be seen with good chances of victory.
Montreal broke a seven-game losing streak last time when they defeated St. Louis 5-4, and they gained momentum on offense. However, they conceded four goals and if you look at some of the previous losses, they have lost 7-2 against Florida, 9-2 against Washington and 6-3 against Nashville, so they have big problems defensively, something that must be clearly improved if they are going to win this match.

Montreal Canadiens analysis
They are second last in the conference and if you look at the squad, it is weak even if Caufield, Suzuki and Dach deliver offensively. They also have injuries that disturb Gallagher, Guhle, Matheson and Monahan, among others, so the squad situation is not optimal as several good players are missing, and it should be difficult to follow up the victory at the latest.
Montreal managed to squeeze out a victory last time after a long losing streak. However, they have big problems defensively and against a Seattle that has scored 24 goals in the last five games, they should have a tough time in their own zone, and I think the guests show that they are the class better.
Seattle Kraken analysis
Seattle is coming off a solid discharge when they last beat Ottawa 4-8 on the road, a victory that was also their fourth in a row. The form is also really good as, in addition to Ottawa, there have been victories against Toronto, Edmonton and the NY Islanders, so the opposition has been really tough.
Now, just like last time, away games await, but there they have performed really well as only Vegas has a higher scoring average in the conference, and so far they have won twelve after 18 away games.
In the squad we find good players in Burakovsky, Beniers, Eberle, Dunn and McCann to name a few, and compared to the home team, the situation in the team is clearly better as only Donskoi is missing while Driedger is a question mark.
Montreal - Seattle: What to expect?
- Seattle Kraken to win at odds of 1.9
