How to Bet on the Seattle Kraken
Every major sportsbook offers these bet types on every Seattle Kraken game. Below are the most important markets and how to approach them for NHL games.
Moneyline
The most popular NHL bet: pick the game winner outright. Includes overtime and shootouts. Road underdog moneylines +110 to +160 have shown long-term profitability due to the NHL's high upset rate.
Puck Line (1.5 Spread)
Hockey's version of the point spread. Favorite -1.5 (must win by 2+), underdog +1.5 (can lose by 1). About 48% of NHL games are decided by exactly one goal, making this a high-impact bet.
Over/Under Totals
NHL totals typically range 5.0–6.5. Always check starting goaltenders. A backup can swing the expected goals 0.5–1.0. Playoff games trend 0.4 goals lower than regular season.
Player Props
Anytime goalscorer is the most popular NHL prop. Top-line forwards score in 30–35% of games. Other markets: shots on goal, assists, points (G+A), goalie saves, and first goalscorer.
Period Betting
First period moneyline (3-way with draw), first period over/under 1.5, and period leaders. First period draw +210 hits 35–40%, a steady market.
Series Winner (Playoffs)
Stanley Cup Playoffs best-of-seven series prices. The NHL has the highest upset rate in major US sports. Look for value on underdog series +250 or longer in the first round.
Stanley Cup Futures
Only 23% of Presidents' Trophy winners go on to win the Stanley Cup. Value lives in second-tier contenders (+600 to +1000) with favorable brackets and strong goaltending.
