Neither the Seattle Kraken nor the Minnesota Wild will feature in the post-season in 2024. This is the first time Minnesota has failed to do so in five seasons. Yet, in their final game, we are liking the odds at online sportsbooks on their top scorer to find the back of the net tonight.

NHL Pick
- Kirill Kaprizov Anytime Goalscorer (-110) at Bet365 (check our Bet365 Review)
Seattle Kraken vs. Minnesota Wild
Thursday, April 18, 2024 – 07:00 PM ET at Xcel Energy Center
Betting Trends
- Kirill Kaprizov has scored at least one goal in 5 of his previous 6 games.
- Since the start of 2024, Kaprizov has scored three hat-tricks and has also been one of the top five scorers in the NHL.
Seattle Can’t Stop Kaprizov
Kirill Kaprizov has quite literally gone “Wild” in recent weeks and games in front of the crease. Kaprizov has scored an impressive three hat-tricks this season and, in his previous seven games, he has scored an eye-watering 8 goals, along with scoring twice in 50% of his previous six games. He is now averaging just over one goal per game.
Kaprizov has faced Seattle twice this season, scoring zero in the first game. However, he scored twice the last time he faced off against the Kraken.
The Pick
Kaprizov is coming into this home game (the last game of the season) where neither team is playing for anything and there could be goals on the cards. We like one of the league’s hottest goalscorers right now to get on the scoreboard despite laying juice for this NHL anytime goalscorer.
Kaprizov could be in for more than one goal tonight and his current odds to find the back of the net at least twice are +500, a pick which we also like for this matchup.
Overall the safest play is to take him to score anytime at a nice -110. Still, we would bet this down to as low as -120.
