Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken Prediction & Picks

On October 09, 2026 our model has run Seattle Kraken at Detroit Red Wings and priced every market it can. Our strongest call is Detroit Red Wings 3-Way Moneyline (+115), 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

Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken: Detroit Red Wings 3-Way Moneyline (+115)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Detroit Red Wings have struggled lately, winning only 2 out of their last 10 games, which puts them in a tough spot. However, they are at home and will be looking to turn things around against the Seattle Kraken, who have won 4 out of their last 10. The matchup is quite close, almost like a coin flip, but the Wings could benefit from the support of their fans at Little Caesars Arena. Choosing the Red Wings to win is a solid pick given their home advantage, even if their recent form isn't great. The biggest risk here is how evenly matched these two teams are. If the Kraken come out strong, it could be a hard-fought game. Still, the odds of +115 make this a tempting choice for a hopeful bet.

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

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Detroit Red Wings have struggled lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. They seem to be having trouble finding the net consistently. The Seattle Kraken, while slightly better with 4 wins in their last 10, also face challenges in scoring. With both teams showing signs of low goal production, this matchup could be tight. The bet here is for under 6.5 total goals. Our numbers show that the expected combined goals are around 5.9, which supports this pick. A concrete risk is that both teams are very close in recent form, which could lead to surprises. With the way both offenses are performing, it seems likely that this game won't be a high-scoring affair.

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

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Seattle Kraken have been better lately, winning four of their last ten games, while the Detroit Red Wings have struggled, only winning two. However, playing at home can give the Red Wings a boost, especially at Little Caesars Arena. They need to step up, and this could be a good opportunity for them to shine in the second period. Betting on the Red Wings to lead by at least one goal in the second period looks promising. They have a solid chance to turn things around, but the risk is that the Kraken are also fighting hard for wins. Still, with the right energy and home advantage, the Red Wings can pull ahead when it counts.

Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken: Moritz Seider Over 1.5 Assists (+680)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Red Wings play the Kraken at Little Caesars Arena, and both teams have had a mixed bag lately. The Red Wings have only won 2 of their last 10 games, while the Kraken have done a bit better, winning 4 out of their last 10. This matchup could be close, but Moritz Seider has a good chance to rack up assists, especially with both teams looking to score. Seider plays a key role on the ice, and with the Red Wings needing to up their game, he could be a big part of their offense. The odds for him to get over 1.5 assists are pretty high, making it an interesting pick. Just keep in mind, the Red Wings' struggles could mean not enough scoring chances for him.

Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken: Dylan Larkin Over 1.5 Goals (+1300)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The odds for Dylan Larkin to score over 1.5 goals are sitting at a tempting +1300. Larkin has shown he can find the net, and with the Red Wings needing to bounce back after winning just 2 of their last 10 games, they will rely on him more than ever. The Kraken have also been hit or miss lately, winning 4 of their last 10, which could lead to an exciting back-and-forth game. The risk here is that both teams are struggling to find consistent form, making it tough to predict how many goals will be scored. However, with Larkin's talent and the need for the Red Wings to step up, this bet could pay off. Little Caesars Arena is sure to be buzzing, and Larkin might just deliver when it counts.
