Nashville vs Seattle Stats

Nashville Predators

In their most recent game, Nashville secured a 5-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, with standout performances from players such as Steven Stamkos, Filip Forsberg, and Roman Josi. Forsberg leads the team in points, while Stamkos has been a dominant force on the power play. The team has shown promise but has yet to reach their full potential, currently ranking low in goals per game but excelling in other areas such as power play success and face-off win rate. Defensively, the Predators have struggled to prevent goals but boast a strong penalty kill. Roman Josi is a standout player on the blue line, leading the team in points and shots. Juuse Saros continues to be a reliable presence in goal. Nashville sits at #22 in power rankings, with room for improvement in offense and defense. Injuries to Spencer Statstney and Austin Roest will impact the lineup for the upcoming game.

Seattle Kraken Analysis

Seattle Kraken recently suffered a 2-0 defeat against the New York Rangers, with Adam Larsson leading in shots on goal and Philipp Grubauer making 21 saves. The team ranks 19th in the league for goals per game, 28th in shots per game, and 22nd in face-off winning percentage. Jared McCann leads in points with 21, while the defense ranks 12th in goals against per game. Despite the team's power ranking of 18, they have a 9-9-1 record and recently faced a 2-1-0 series against Nashville. Jordan Eberle and Vince Dunn are listed on the injury report for the upcoming contest.

Seattle Kraken Favored to Win Against Nashville Predators in Home Game

I am inclined to predict that Seattle will emerge victorious as the underdogs in this home game. Seattle has performed well with a record of 6-4-1 at home this season, whereas Nashville has struggled with a 2-4-3 record on the road. Although Nashville's recent five-goal performance against the Canucks was noteworthy, I believe it was an anomaly. Daccord has displayed consistent performance as the Kraken's goaltender this season. Furthermore, Nashville has struggled to score, with two goals or fewer in six of their last eight games. In contrast, Seattle has been successful in scoring three or more goals in five of their last six matches. While they did suffer a loss to the Rangers, Seattle had won their previous four games, indicating their potential for success in the upcoming matchup.
