New York Islanders vs Seattle Kraken Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/16/24

The Seattle Kraken are hosting the New York Islanders on Saturday afternoon. The Kraken, currently riding a 3-game winning streak, have done most of their winning on home ice. This team has been average to begin the year, currently sitting in sixth place in the Pacific Division. However, they play a defensively stingy style of game that makes it difficult for opponents to score on them. It will be especially difficult for the Islanders, who average only 2.65 goals per game. In an era of hockey in which goal-scoring numbers tend to have increased, this is not very good. The Kraken don’t have any superstar caliber talent up front, but they feature 4 solid lines that play a fast, physical style of game — which over the course of 60 minutes makes things difficult for opposing team’s defense. Joey Daccord is slated to get the start for the Kraken, and he has been good this season. He is 7-3-1 with a 2.55 GAA and 0.918 SVP. Look for him to lock things down.

The Islanders remain without their most dynamic offensive player in Mat Barzal. Without him in the lineup, goals have been hard to come by. Their 1 strength is their defensive play and above average goaltending. That will need to be on full display to keep up with the Kraken. In the end, I do not think it will be enough.
