Seattle Kraken vs New Jersey Devils 2/9/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Seattle Kraken will collide with the Devils in an NHL Inter-Division competition at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Thursday evening.

Seattle made 32 shots and 31 hits while winning 21 faceoffs with 2 penalty minutes in the loss.

Seattle doesn’t have any superstars in their line-up but the Kraken owed their success to every player who contributed in different ways.

Center Matty Beniers is playing his rookie year in the NHL with the Seattle Kraken and he is making a big impact in his first season in the league.

Beniers compiled 17 goals, 19 assists, and 36 points in just 48 games which is an impressive record for a rookie in the NHL today.

The Seattle Kraken is 11-5 straight up in their last 16 outings and 7-2 SU in their last 9 road matches played.

The totals went UNDER in 4 of Seattle’s last 5 contests versus an opponent from the Western Conference and also went UNDER in 10 of the Kraken’s last 11 games played against a rival in the Metropolitan Division.
