Edmonton leads the Pacific Division with 32 points, but they haven’t been overly dominant away from Rogers Place. The Oilers are 9-1-0 on home ice this season but 7-4-0 on the road. The good news is that they’ve won their last two road games against Arizona and Vegas.

The Oilers are led by two of the league’s best players in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, who sit 1-2 in the NHL scoring race. The two superstars are a primary reason the Oilers’ power play is clicking at an insane 35.9% clip. Defensively, Edmonton ranks 17th in GAA (2.98).

The Kraken are starting to play better hockey following a brutal start to the season. After managing just four wins in their first 17 games, they’ve won four of their last six contests. Despite the turnaround, Seattle remains at the bottom of the Stanley Cup odds.

Seattle is scoring almost three goals per game, but they’re allowing the fifth-highest number of goals against (3.48). Goaltending has played a big part in the defensive struggles, as newcomer Philipp Grubauer has posted a .890 save percentage in his 17 starts this season.

Oilers vs Kraken Betting Trends

There are some important betting trends to note when betting the Oilers vs Kraken. Edmonton is 7-0 in their last seven games against the Pacific Division, while Seattle is 0-5 in their last five games vs the Pacific. These teams played once before on Nov. 1, and the Oilers won convincingly 5-2.

There are also some interesting trends to take note of pertaining to the game total. The over has cashed in nine of Seattle’s last 11 games against the Western Conference and in six of the Kraken’s last seven home contests. The over has cashed in 13 of the Oilers’ last 16 games playing on a day of rest.

Oilers vs Kraken Pick

The Oilers have the top-scoring offense in the NHL, which is going to be a problem for a Kraken team allowing far too many goals per game. Seattle’s offense, however, is heating up, having scored at least three goals in three straight games. We should be in for a high-scoring battle Friday.

McDavid and Draisaitl will feast on this lackluster Kraken defense like they did in the first meeting, while Seattle’s offense will stay hot against a leaky Oilers defense. Edmonton ranks bottom-10 in high-danger chances allowed, and goalie Mikko Koskinen has allowed at least three goals in five of his past seven starts.

Pick: Over 6 (-120)
