The preview

Written 18 Oct

Florida Panthers vs Seattle Kraken Prediction & Picks

On October 17, 2026 our model has run Seattle Kraken at Florida Panthers and priced every market it can. Our strongest call is Seattle Kraken To Win (+164), 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

Florida Panthers vs Seattle Kraken: Seattle Kraken To Win (+164)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Florida Panthers are strong, winning six of their last ten games, but the Seattle Kraken are also looking good with five wins in their most recent ten. The Kraken have shown they can compete, and their recent form suggests they can put up a good fight against the Panthers at home. Betting on the Kraken to win offers a nice chance as an underdog, especially considering they have players who can shoot from both sides. The biggest risk here is that the Panthers have been pretty tough to beat lately, so it won't be easy for the Kraken. Still, at these odds, it's worth a shot.

Florida Panthers vs Seattle Kraken: Seattle Kraken +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (-120)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Seattle Kraken have been showing some solid form lately, winning 5 of their last 10 games. They play well in tight situations, and with a good chance by our numbers, taking them at +0.5 for the third period seems promising. The Florida Panthers, while having won 6 of their last 10, might struggle to maintain their momentum in this matchup. The biggest risk here is that both teams are pretty closely matched, so it could go either way. Still, the Kraken's ability to stay competitive in the third period gives us a reason to believe they can cover this line. Let's see if they can keep it close!

Florida Panthers vs Seattle Kraken: Seattle Kraken +0.5 2nd Period Puck Line (-145)

Odds correct at time of publishing

The Florida Panthers have been scoring well lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games, which shows they know how to find the net. However, the Seattle Kraken are not far behind, winning 5 of their last 10 as well. This matchup could be close, especially since both teams are still figuring things out in the new season. For this game, I like the Seattle Kraken with a +0.5 in the second period. They have a good chance to keep the game tight, and even if they don't win, they can still cover this spread if they stay competitive. The biggest risk here is that both teams are evenly matched, so it could easily go either way.

Florida Panthers vs Seattle Kraken: Jacob Markstrom Over 21.5 Saves (-115)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Jacob Markstrom has been busy in goal for the Florida Panthers, and he'll likely face a lot of shots against the Seattle Kraken. Both teams have been scoring pretty well lately, with the Panthers winning 6 of their last 10 games. This means Markstrom may have to make quite a few saves to keep his team in it. Betting on him to make over 21.5 saves feels solid since he's been tested often. However, the risk is that this matchup is close, with both teams playing well. If the game turns out to be less eventful than expected, it could affect his save count.

That is the full board for this game. Prices can move before you get on, so check the board at your bookmaker. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
