Columbus Blue Jackets vs Seattle Kraken Predictions 1/28/2023

On their way to a 6-1 triumph over Vancouver, the Seattle Kraken opened the game with five unanswered goals.

Seattle currently has a home record of 12-9-3 and is 3-1-1 in January. Martin Jones was reliable in goal, blocking 19 of 20 attempts.

In his previous 3 matches, he allowed a total of 15 goals. Seattle plays on Friday as well, but that game was excluded from this analysis.

Jared McCann contributed a goal and two assists, and Oliver Bjorkstrand scored twice in the triumph. The club only scored eight goals in their previous four games, so the six-goal explosion was just what the doctor ordered.

The Kraken is 17th in goals allowed and fourth in goals scored per game (3.66) (3.04). This team had horrible penalty killing, ranking 31st at 71.5%.

The Seattle Kraken is 2-3 in their last 5 matches.

Seattle is 17-6 in their road matches against the spread.

Columbus Blue Jackets vs Seattle Kraken. The NHL pick for this game is the Seattle Kraken.

Seattle and Columbus faced off before, with Columbus winning both games, although this year’s Kraken team is different from the previous one.

Seattle played well at home, while Columbus had a difficult time away from home, finishing 4-15-2. After losing three games in a row on the road to begin the month, the Blue Jackets went 2-1-1.

Despite their improved play, they still lack the offensive firepower and goaltending to stop the Kraken.

Both teams are playing on consecutive nights, and while the Kraken is 4-9 in their past 13 in a similar circumstance, Columbus is 7-21 in their last 28 games when playing on zero day’s rest.

Seattle will win this match by at least three, though, considering they are 10-3 in their last 13 games. The Seattle Kraken will win to a predicted score of 5-2.
