Bruins vs. Kraken Head-to-Head

Game Preview
In-form teams collide in the NHL on Tuesday, as the Seattle Kraken host the Boston Bruins. The Kraken have been in strong recent form, winning seven of their last ten to move up to third in the Pacific Division. In fact, a win on Tuesday could send them to the top of the division standings.
Seattle’s strong form has continued in their recent outings, winning each of their last three. However, this showdown represents a quick turnaround after beating the Calgary Flames 5-1 on Monday.
Seattle scored four times in an action-packed final frame, with Jacob Melanson and Matty Beniers both scoring. The Kraken have been reliable at the Climate Pledge Arena in 2025-26, going 9-7-4.
Boston will also bring momentum into this round of games after bouncing back to form after winning just once in seven by claiming victories in each of their last two. Despite that upturn, the Bruins still sit sixth in the Atlantic Division standings.
Boston held their nerve to land an overtime success in their latest outing, beating the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on the road. Fraser Minten was the star in the win, scoring twice from six shots on goal.
However, the Bruins have largely been inconsistent on their travels in the NHL this season, winning on ten occasions but also suffering the same number of defeats in regulation time.
Bruins vs. Kraken Picks
The Kraken will have limited time to prepare for this clash following a game on Monday. That could be crucially important, meaning that the edge is given to the Bruins.
