The Nashville Predators (6-10-3) head to the Emerald City to take on the Seattle Kraken (9-9-1) in a Wednesday Night showdown on November 20, 2024. Puck drop is scheduled for 10:00 PM Eastern Time at Climate Pledge Arena, with national coverage provided by TNT.
The Predators enter as slight favorites at -140, while the over/under is set at a low 5.5 goals. Can the Preds’ new stars lead them to a road win against the Kraken tonight? Let’s dive into the matchup and find out.
Here is our Predators vs Kraken prediction for Wednesday Night Hockey.
I’m riding with the Preds to get a road win against the Kraken. Nashville is a team on the rise, with new additions like Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault starting to find their groove with the squad. The Preds are coming off an impressive 5-3 road win over the Canucks and will be hungry to end their road trip on a high note.
While Nashville’s overall record is lackluster at 6-10-3, their underlying metrics are trending in the right direction. The Preds have a strong power play clicking at 23.3% (10th in the NHL) and an elite penalty kill at 90.8% (1st). Nashville also boasts the 4th best face-off percentage in the league at 53.3%, giving them an edge in puck possession.
On the flip side, the Kraken have been inconsistent, going 5-5-0 in their last 10 games. Seattle ranks middle-of-the-pack in most statistical categories and has struggled with slow starts, leading after the 1st period in only 3 of 19 games. The Kraken are also coming off a deflating 2-0 loss to the Rangers.
Sharp money has taken notice of Nashville’s improvement, moving the line from -130 to -140 in their favor. I believe the Preds have revenge on their mind after a 7-3 blowout loss to Seattle earlier this season and will make a statement on the road.
Expect a hard-fought, lower-scoring affair, with Nashville rallying behind their new stars to grind out a win at Climate Pledge. The under 5.5 is also worth a smaller play for those who like to bet totals.
Wednesday Hockey Picks:
The Predators are currently favored to win, with the moneyline set at -140. This means a $140 bet on Nashville would return a profit of $100 if they triumph. The Kraken are +120 underdogs, offering a potential return of $120 on a $100 wager.

Nashville is listed at -1.5 (+175) on the puck line, while Seattle is +1.5 (-225). A Predators puck line bet would require them to win by 2+ goals for a solid payout. The Kraken puck line bet would cash if they win outright or lose by a single goal.
The total for this game is set at just 5.5 goals, with both the over and under at -110. This low number indicates oddsmakers expect a defensive battle between these teams.

The Kraken and Preds have faced off 10 times total, with Seattle winning six of those contests. Interestingly, these two teams have alternated victories over their past six meetings, with each squad picking up three wins apiece. If this pattern holds true, Nashville would be due for a win tonight at Climate Pledge.
The over/under trends have been mixed in the last five matchups, with the total going over twice, under twice, and pushing once. The Predators will look to keep the win-alternating trend alive and get some payback for the 7-3 beatdown they suffered in the most recent meeting.
With Nashville playing better and possessing added motivation to even the season series, I believe they offer excellent value at -140 in this spot.
