Josh Morrissey is one of the most dangerous blueliners in the sport, putting up 50+ points for the fourth consecutive year.

My Kraken vs. Jets predictions expect him to make noise offensively in an advantageous spot against Seattle.

Let’s dive into my NHL picks for Monday, April 6.

Kraken vs Jets prediction

Kraken vs Jets best bet: Josh Morrissey Over 0.5 points (-115)

Josh Morrissey is in strong form, tallying six points over his last seven games. That includes productive nights against talented playoff teams like Vegas and Colorado (x2).

He has a great positional matchup to keep his hot streak going. The Seattle Kraken have allowed the eighth-most assists and sixth-most shots per game.

That bodes well for Morrissey. Despite missing a handful of games, he sits 16th among defensemen in assists and 31st in scoring chances.

With the Jets fighting for a Wild Card spot, Morrissey should get lots of ice time tonight.

Kraken vs Jets same-game parlay

Gabriel Vilardi is skating alongside Adam Lowry and Cole Perfetti on a second line that has been very dangerous since being assembled.

He also correlates with Morrissey on the top power play unit, which is especially important in this spot. Only the Canucks have allowed power play goals at a higher rate than the Kraken.

The Kraken have been outscored by 13 goals and posted miserable underlying metrics over their last 10 games. The Winnipeg Jets are in better form, have the better goalie, and have home ice to boot. Look for them to get another important two points.
