The Kraken are coming into this game with a 4-4-1 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 3 straight games and their offense has not been very good in these. They have been averaging just 2 goals scored per game in their last 3 games while allowing 4 goals in each of their last 2 as well as at least 3 goals in each of their last 3 games. They got off to a much better start this season and their offense was on fire in a lot of those wins, but now they have cooled off as they are not scoring goals and they are starting a road trip out East as well. They are going up against a Canadiens team that is also 4-4-1 this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight games and their offense has been on fire in these, scoring at least 4 goals in each game. Their defense has also been better over their last 2 games, especially in their last home game as they only allowed 2 goals. The Canadiens have some momentum now from their 2 straight wins and they are about to start a stretch where they play 6 of their next 7 games on the road so they will be pushing to take advantage of this home game against a struggling Kraken team that has not been scoring goals recently. The Canadiens also beat the Kraken in both meetings last season and they are 3-1 against them over the last 2 seasons as well. The Canadiens will win this game at home.
