The struggling Vancouver Canucks travel to Seattle to face the Kraken, aiming to snap their five-game losing streak. Both teams have shown offensive firepower but have also struggled defensively. The Canucks are hoping to capitalize on Seattle's leaky defense and get back on track.
The Canucks can capitalize on a leaky Kraken defense — and a crease missing Joey Daccord — to snap out of a highway funk tonight in Seattle. The Vancouver Canucks are reeling, dropping five of their last six. They’ll get a chance at one of the teams that sent them spinning when they visit the Seattle Kraken tonight. Seattle broke a five-game losing slide with a win over Vancouver and now has a modest two-game win streak.

Seattle is one of the few teams that has given up more goals against than Vancouver over the last two weeks — a round 4.0 goals against, tied for fifth-worst across the NHL. That's the opening Vancouver needs to get back to scoring, as its 3.11 goals per game clip ranks 13th overall. These two teams going head-to-head has been an Over bettor's dream, cashing nine times in the last 10. The only miss was a 5-1 Canucks win on Nov 24, 2023, a score that would still best Thursday’s 5.5 line at Pinnacle. Add in the fact that Seattle N
