- Toronto Maple Leafs -1.5 ( units)
The Kraken are going to be in a position, as they are not able to do many things better than the Maple Leafs so far this season. Seattle is going to be tired as their last three games have gone to at least an overtime period. The Kraken are 0-0-2 on the road this season so they need to figure out how to do things, even with the injury bug biting them in the early portion of the season. Toronto has been able to dominate at home with a 3-1-0 record inside the Scotiabank Arena thus far, so go with the Toronto Maple Leafs to record another here.
Over/Under Pick for Kraken vs. Maple Leafs
- UNDER 6.5 (5 units)

Both defenses are holding their own as Seattle is allowing 27.0 shots faced per game while Toronto is giving up 28.4 shots per game. All in all, go with UNDER 6.5 GOALS in this game.
