Winnipeg's recent struggles on home ice can't be ignored. In their last five at home, they've averaged a mere 0.4 goals per game, while letting in two on average. That's a stark contrast to their overall performance, where they've managed to keep things a touch more competitive. Seattle, on the other hand, has shown some grit on the road. With a 3-2 record in their last five trips, they've managed to keep opponents to an average of 0.6 goals while scoring a modest 0.2 themselves. When you factor in that the Kraken have managed to edge out the Jets in 3 of their last 5 encounters, it's hard not to see value in backing Seattle +1.5 on the Puck Line. It's a calculated wager that leans on both recent form and head-to-head history.
