Islanders vs. Kraken Prediction, Picks & Best Bets Today: Best NHL Bets Wednesday, Jan. 21
My Islanders vs. Kraken prediction for tonight's game at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle (9:30 p.m. ET, TNT) expects five goals or fewer while spotlighting Mathew Barzal.
The Islanders are the marginal -118 moneyline betting favorite. They've been alternating wins and losses recently, while the Kraken have lost four straight. That's about to change, though.

💰 Islanders vs. Kraken best bet: Under 5.5 goals ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.
Despite conceding 12 goals in the previous two games, I'm expecting a much better defensive performance from the Kraken. Seven of their previous 10 home games had five goals or fewer. While the Kraken have been more porous recently, the New York Islanders subpar offense should be easier to keep at bay.
The Islanders, meanwhile, have Vezina Trophy odds front-runner Ilya Sorokin between the pipes, which should help cash this bet.
Score prediction: Kraken 3, Islanders 2
🔥 Best Islanders vs. Kraken prop bet: Mathew Barzal Over 0.5 assits (-104) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Barzal has 10 assists in the last 10 games, securing at least one seven times. He's enjoying a productive road trip and will want to finish strong against a Seattle Kraken team that has struggled recently.
While I expect goals to be harder to come by tonight, Seattle has allowed 12 in the previous two games. Even if the Islanders only score two, as I predict, Barzal has been in on most of the Islanders' dangerous forays lately.
