Winnipeg Jets vs Seattle Kraken Betting Preview
Winnipeg heads to Seattle after stabilizing its long road trip with a strong 5-3 win in Vancouver. Josh Morrissey powered the effort with three points, and Connor Hellebuyck turned aside 30 shots. The Jets look far closer to the team that opened hot, and they get a Kraken group that continues to struggle to finish plays.
Seattle won the first meeting 3-0 back in October, but that performance came with Joey Daccord in net. He is unavailable now, and the Kraken have scored one goal or fewer in three of their last four. First-year coach Lane Lambert said his group needs to convert more of its chances. You can track current numbers on the NHL odds page at ScoresAndStats where this matchup has tightened slightly.
Winnipeg enters 10-6-0. Seattle sits 7-5-5 under Lambert, who continues to lean on defensive structure and goaltending while the offense tries to find rhythm.

Matchup Breakdown
Winnipeg Outlook
The Jets snapped their scoring drought by striking three times in the first period against Vancouver. Morrissey’s power-play goal broke an 0-for-14 slump. Winnipeg ranks top ten in blocks and top six in power-play goals, and Hellebuyck’s recent form stabilizes the defensive floor. If Winnipeg controls the rush game, they dictate pace.
Seattle Outlook
Seattle’s issue remains offense. They defend with structure and limit entries, but they struggle to generate high-danger looks. Matt Murray has been excellent while replacing Daccord, keeping Seattle close despite low scoring. Jaden Schwartz and Jordan Eberle remain the primary drivers, but depth scoring has gone missing.

Indoor game, no weather implications.
Best Bets and Prediction
Winnipeg is 9-4 straight up as a favorite this season, and Seattle’s scoring issues make them fragile in tight games. Seattle is 4-1 against the puck line in its last five, but most covers were low-event matchups that required strong goaltending.
Projected score: Jets 3, Kraken 2
Best Bet: Under 5.5 (+100)
Secondary Lean: Jets moneyline
