Montréal Canadiens and Seattle Kraken head-to-head record
Based on the last five games, the Canadiens have a better record against the Kraken. They have won three of the last five games, including a big 5-1 win on March 25, 2024. The fact that the Canadiens have scored four or more goals in three games against the Kraken says that they might have an offensive edge. Seattle, on the other hand, proved they can fight by winning two of those five games, which includes a 4-0 shutout on the 10th of January in 2023. This shows that when their defensive line and goalie are on, they can keep Montreal from scoring. This game could be close since Montreal has been better lately and Seattle is better on the road. However, if Montreal gets the offensive power they've shown in previous games, the Canadiens might win again.
