The Seattle Kraken will be aiming to snap a long losing run when they return to action at the Climate Pledge Arena on Dec 8. Find the odds and our Wild vs. Kraken picks here.
It has been a troubling period for the Kraken, as they have dropped to 11-9-6 after losing their last five games. That run of form leaves them sitting sixth in the Pacific Division.
The Wild continue to sit in a high position in the Central Division, but they will also have questions to answer after losing their last two NHL games.

The Seattle Kraken will return to the Climate Pledge Arena with questions to answer this week.
Seattle have suffered defeats in their last five games, which leaves them stranded in sixth spot in the Pacific Division. The Kraken have gone 4-5-1 across their last ten, and have gone 6-4-3 in home games this season.
However, Seattle’s most recent defeat was suffered on home ice, as they were beaten 4-3 by the Detroit Red Wings over the weekend.

The Minnesota Wild will also have pressure on their shoulders this week, as they have suffered defeats in each of their last two games.
Minnesota continue to sit in a lofty position in the Central Division, as only the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche have accumulated better records.
But, a response will be expected on Monday following a poor showing on the road over the weekend, as the Wild were beaten 4-2 by the Vancouver Canucks.
| TOTAL | Wild | Kraken | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 12 | 8 | 4 | - |
| GOALS | 68 | 40 | 28 |
The Kraken’s form has dipped in recent weeks, but it could play to their strengths, as they will be back in front of their own fans on Monday. Therefore, despite having the disadvantage based on win-loss records, the narrow edge is given to the hosts when making Wild vs. Kraken picks.
