The Montreal Canadiens are on a disappointing 12-11-2 start to the season, sixth in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference, and on a two-game losing streak. They lost to the Vancouver Canucks (7-6) in a high-scoring overtime thriller in their last outing.
Montreal will take on the Seattle Kraken, who are 15-6-3 overall, second in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference, and lost against the Carolina Panthers (5-1) in their previous outing. They will now host this game at the Climate Pledge Arena on Tuesday (December 6) where they will look to return to winning ways.
Montreal Canadiens vs Seattle Kraken: Betting Odds
Montreal has really struggled so far this season. They have only 12 wins but 11 losses so far this season. The two-game losing streak included defeats against teams like the Edmonton Oilers (5-3) and the Vancouver Canucks (7-6). They finished bottom of the division last season and are likely to repeat it the same way they are playing at present.
The team has scored a total of 76 goals but has conceded 90, a difference of -14. Their chances of making it to the playoffs look very slim.
The Seattle Kraken has 15 wins and only six losses so far. They are second in the division, only behind the Vegas Golden Knights. This is a massive improvement from last season when they finished bottom of the division.
The team has scored 88 goals and conceded 75, a difference of +13. They will be eyeing their 16th win at home tonight.
