Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings Betting Picks & Predictions
The Detroit Red Wings will beat the Seattle Kraken 4-3 in our forecast for Oct. 9, with Dylan Larkin’s productive return providing the strongest matchup edge against Seattle’s defense without Ryan Lindgren. Confidence is low because Seattle brings several scoring options. Neither the supplied puck line prices nor the total of 6 offers a convincing betting edge; the official recommendation is Pass.
Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings prediction and best bet
Detroit gets the pick because Larkin returned from an upper-body injury with a goal and an assist in a 5-3 victory over Ottawa. Alex DeBrincat contributed two goals and an assist. That production gives the Red Wings a credible route to beating a Seattle team missing Lindgren.
The forecast is Detroit Red Wings 4, Seattle Kraken 3, but the best betting decision is Pass. Seattle’s early scoring contributions make a competitive game plausible, while Detroit’s latest win offers only a narrow view of its form. Picking the winner is easier here than finding a price worth backing.

Seattle Kraken outlook
Jared McCann led Seattle with five points through four games, and four Kraken shared the team lead with two goals. Those contributions are the strongest reason to keep Seattle close in the projection. Detroit faces an offense with multiple early goal scorers, even if four games are too few to establish how reliably that production will continue.
