Monday night’s NHL slate delivered a strong mix of late-game execution, power-play efficiency, and goaltending performances that tilted both scoreboards and betting markets. Several teams snapped recent slumps, while others saw ongoing inconsistencies continue to surface as the season grind deepens.
From a wagering standpoint, situational spots, special teams, and third-period production once again proved decisive. Bettors tracking daily results through SportsHub tools such as the service plays leaderboard and broader sports picks coverage were able to clearly identify where momentum and matchup edges aligned.
Seattle Kraken vs Anaheim Ducks – 3-1
Seattle flipped the game in the third period behind two goals from Jordan Eberle, stunning Anaheim on the road. Frederick Gaudreau also scored, while Kaapo Kakko chipped in two assists. Philipp Grubauer was the backbone of the win with 40 saves as the Kraken earned consecutive victories for the first time in a month and climbed out of the Pacific Division cellar. Anaheim’s lone goal came from Mikael Granlund, but sustained pressure was hard to maintain late.
