Minnesota vs Seattle Prediction: the Kraken Will Struggle In Vain

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Minnesota vs Seattle, which will take place on March 20th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Minnesota

Minnesota is not having the best season. The fans are waiting for Kirill Kaprizov to return, but it's really tough without him. The results are not stable, with only four wins and six losses in ten games.The day before, the Wild had a great game against Los Angeles, beating them 3-1. The Wild are currently in seventh place in the Western Conference, with 81 points, so they have not secured a spot in the playoffs.

Seattle

Seattle's campaign hasn't been great either, with 65 points and 13th place in the Western Conference standings, 10 points behind the top eight. The team might have a chance mathematically, but it's almost impossible to close that gap. Seattle has won three out of the last four games, including a 6-2 victory over Chicago the day before, but they are not stopping yet.

H2H Meetings

The last time Minnesota and Seattle played each other was on 5 March 2025, when Minnesota won 4-3.

Expert Betting Tips

We think that the stronger team in this match will be Minnesota. The Wild is not doing well at the moment, but they need to start playing more consistently if they want to keep their chances of making the play-offs alive. They played really well against Los Angeles the day before, so we think they'll probably do well against Seattle too. The Kraken don't seem too bothered, and it's the second day in a row they've had to play a game, so they'll probably be tired. We expect Grubauer to be in goal, and he is not as good as Daccord.
