The Anaheim Ducks will head to Climate Pledge Arena to take on the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night. Both of these Pacific Division teams missed the playoffs a season ago and will try to exceed expectations starting with this contest.

Moneyline | Puckline | Total |
|---|---|---|
Kraken –130 / Ducks +110 | Ducks +1.5 (-235) / Kraken -1.5 (+180) | 5.5 |
Lukas Dostal is set to be the starting goaltender for the Anaheim Ducks early in the season. Dostal signed a five-year contract extension worth $32.5 million over the summer. He will try to prove that he is worth that kind of money starting with this game. Joey Daccord is likely to be the starter in Seattle this year after playing in 57 games with a 2.75 GAA a season ago.
Seattle will need to deal with the absence of defenseman Ryker Evans and right winger Kaapo Kakko. Anaheim must manage without veteran forward Ryan Strome, out with an upper-body injury to start the season. Those key injuries could make it tougher for either team to have success early in the year.
Player | Prop |
|---|---|
Jackson LaCombe (ANA) | Over 1.5 points |
Jared McCann (SEA) | Over 0.5 assists |
Matty Beniers (SEA) | Over 0.5 points |
Score Projection: Seattle 4 – Anaheim 2
Win Probability: Seattle 55%, Anaheim 45%
I think that both of these teams have the potential to improve compared to what we saw from them last season. But only one team can win their season opener against one another. I think that team will be the Seattle Kraken. Seattle is at home and should take advantage of the fact that the Ducks were 14-19-8 on the road last year. Look for the Kraken to open their season with a win on home ice that they hope will kickstart a strong year out West.
