Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction & Picks

On October 20, 2026 our model has run Detroit Red Wings at Seattle Kraken and priced every market it can. Our strongest call is Seattle Kraken 3-Way Moneyline (+145), which we rate long shot confidence. Every bet below is our own number against the price on the board, in plain English.

Every bet we like in this game

Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings: Seattle Kraken 3-Way Moneyline (+145)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Seattle Kraken will be playing at home against the Detroit Red Wings, and they've been doing okay lately, winning five of their last ten games. The Kraken have a strong group of left-handed shooters, which can really help them in offense. Meanwhile, the Red Wings have struggled more, winning only three of their last ten. This matchup looks promising for Seattle, as they have the home ice advantage and a better recent record. The main concern is how close these teams are in overall skill, which can make the game unpredictable. Still, with the Kraken's current form and support from their fans at Climate Pledge Arena, they have a solid chance to grab the win.

Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings: Seattle Kraken +1.5 Puck Line (-256)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Seattle Kraken have been finding their rhythm lately, winning 5 of their last 10 games. Playing at home in Climate Pledge Arena gives them a boost, and they've shown they can compete well. On the other hand, the Detroit Red Wings have struggled, winning only 3 out of their last 10. This could make it tough for them on the road. Betting on the Kraken with a +1.5 line seems promising, as they've been performing better recently. The main risk is that both teams are still adjusting in this new season, so the game could be tighter than expected. Overall, the Kraken have a solid chance to keep it close or win, making this a bet worth considering.

Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings: Seattle Kraken +2.5 Puck Lines (-455)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Seattle Kraken have won five out of their last ten games, showing they can find ways to score. They'll be playing at home in Climate Pledge Arena, where they usually feel more comfortable. The Detroit Red Wings, on the other hand, have only won three of their last ten games, which puts them in a tougher spot. While the Kraken are favored, it's important to remember that both teams are still finding their rhythm this season. The Red Wings have a decent number of left and right shooters, which could make it tricky for the Kraken's defense. Still, with the Kraken's recent form and home advantage, they have a solid shot at covering the puck line.

Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings: Philipp Grubauer Over 26.5 Saves (+110)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Philipp Grubauer is set to face the Detroit Red Wings, who have been struggling lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. This matchup could lead to a lot of action on the ice, and Grubauer has a good chance to make over 26.5 saves. With the Red Wings' recent form, they might be firing plenty of shots at him. The Kraken have won 5 out of their last 10 games, showing they can hold their own. However, the risk is that the game could be closer than expected, making it tough for Grubauer to rack up those saves. Still, with the way the teams are playing, it looks promising for him to hit that saves mark.

Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings: Daniil Tarasov Under 24.5 Saves (-105)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Daniil Tarasov is in net for the Seattle Kraken, and he has a tough matchup against the Detroit Red Wings. The Kraken have won five out of their last ten games, while the Red Wings have only won three. This shows that Seattle is finding some form, which may limit the number of shots Tarasov faces. With both teams having a mix of left and right shooters, it could make scoring chances a bit unpredictable. However, since the game is rated close to a coin flip, it's possible Tarasov might not have to make a ton of saves. The risk here is that the game could be tighter than expected, leading to more shots against him. Betting under 24.5 saves could be the way to go.

Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings: Matty Beniers Under 0.5 Goals (-417)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Seattle Kraken have been a bit more successful lately, winning five of their last ten games, while the Detroit Red Wings have only managed three wins in the same number of games. Matty Beniers is a key player for the Kraken, and with the pressure on, he might find it tough to score against a focused Red Wings defense. Betting on Matty Beniers to score under 0.5 goals looks promising. The odds suggest that our numbers think this is a strong pick.
