Seattle Kraken vs. San Jose Sharks Betting Preview
The Seattle Kraken have turned Climate Pledge Arena into an early fortress. After years of home inconsistency, they’re 4-0-2 on home ice entering Wednesday’s matchup with the San Jose Sharks.
Seattle’s 3-1 win over Chicago on Monday pushed its record to 6-2-4 and moved it atop the Pacific Division. Goaltender Joey Daccord continues to anchor the crease with a .910 save percentage and a 2.53 GAA, starting 10 of 12 games.
San Jose, meanwhile, is showing progress under Ryan Warsofsky. The Sharks are 3-1-1 in their last five, and rookie Macklin Celebrini already has 18 points. Still, turnovers and inconsistent defense remain issues as they aim to climb from a 4-7-3 record.

Matchup Breakdown
Seattle Outlook:
The Kraken’s balanced attack and structure under Lane Lambert have translated into steady puck possession and disciplined play. Jordan Eberle and Matty Beniers lead the offense with chemistry, while the team ranks fifth in goals against.
San Jose Outlook:
The Sharks are competing harder than last season and rank top 10 in blocked shots, but their defensive lapses continue to cost them. If Nedeljkovic holds form in net, they can keep it close. San Jose’s road special teams, however, remain below league average.
