Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken Prediction & Picks, October 9, 2026

The Detroit Red Wings have been struggling lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games, while the Seattle Kraken have had a slightly better run with 4 wins in the same span. However, playing at home in Little Caesars Arena gives the Red Wings a chance to rally their fans and turn their season around. With both teams showing similar shooting styles, it could come down to who can score first. The bet on the Red Wings could pay off since they have the home-ice advantage. The most concrete risk is that both teams are closely matched, making this almost a toss-up. Still, Detroit has the chance to find their groove and surprise the Kraken tonight.

Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken: Under 6.5 Total Goals (-130)

The Detroit Red Wings have struggled lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. Meanwhile, the Seattle Kraken have had a bit more luck, winning 4 of their last 10. Both teams seem to be finding it hard to score, which makes betting on fewer goals a solid choice. With the combined total we expect being just under 6, betting on under 6.5 goals feels right. The matchup is close, and the Red Wings' recent form makes it tricky to trust them to light up the scoreboard. If the goalies perform well, this game could see fewer goals than expected.

Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken: Detroit Red Wings -0.5 2nd Period Puck Line (+145)

The Detroit Red Wings have struggled lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. They will face the Seattle Kraken, who have managed to win 4 of their last 10. The Red Wings need to step up their game, especially in the second period, where they can take advantage of home ice and their shooting power with so many left-handed shooters on their team. Betting on the Red Wings to be ahead by at least one goal in the second period looks promising. They have the potential to find their rhythm at home, but the risk is that both teams are close in skill, and the Kraken could surprise them. Still, at odds of +145, this bet gives the Red Wings a real chance to turn things around.

Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken: Viktor Arvidsson Under 2.5 Shots on Goal (+115)

Viktor Arvidsson has been struggling lately, and the stats show it. He's only getting a couple of shots on goal per game, which makes this bet a good choice. The Detroit Red Wings are also having a tough time overall, winning just 2 of their last 10 games, and that can affect how much pressure they put on Seattle's defense. The Seattle Kraken have been a bit better, winning 4 of their last 10 games, but they also have players who might limit Arvidsson's chances. The matchup is pretty close, making it tough to call for either side, and the biggest risk here is how the teams' recent performances could impact Arvidsson's output. Taking the under on his shots feels like a smart play.

Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken: Berkly Catton Under 1.5 Shots on Goal (+100)

For Berkly Catton to have under 1.5 shots on goal tonight, he needs to face a tough Seattle Kraken defense. The Kraken have been doing alright recently, winning 4 of their last 10 games, which means they know how to shut down opposing players. Plus, Catton is part of a Red Wings team that has struggled lately, winning only 2 of their last 10. While Catton has the talent, the Kraken's solid defensive game could make it hard for him to get many chances. The risk here is that the Red Wings may have trouble generating offense against a team that knows how to defend well. With the odds at even money, it seems like a decent bet that Catton might not get more than one shot tonight.

Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken: Lucas Raymond Under 0.5 Points (+130)

Lucas Raymond has been quiet lately, and he hasn't scored any points in his last few games. The Detroit Red Wings have only won 2 of their last 10, which might mean they're struggling to generate offense. On top of that, the Seattle Kraken have been a bit better, winning 4 of their last 10, so they could be tougher to break down. With both teams fighting for consistency and Raymond not finding the back of the net often, betting on him to score less than 0.5 points feels like a solid choice. The most concrete risk is that the Red Wings might surprise us and find their scoring touch at home. Still, with the odds at +130, this bet seems to have a decent chance of hitting.
