Wild vs. Kraken prediction, odds and best bet for Oct. 24, 2026

The Minnesota Wild are favored to beat the Seattle Kraken on Saturday, according to Dimers' NHL pregame model.

Our Wild vs. Kraken prediction gives Minnesota a 57.7% chance of winning at Climate Pledge Arena, but the latest odds suggest the Kraken may offer better betting value despite being the underdog.

Wild vs. Kraken: Key predictions

• Wild win probability: 57.7%
• Kraken win probability: 42.3%
• Kraken +1.5 puck line: 64.4% cover probability
• Under 6.5 goals: 54.7% probability

Dimers' NHL pregame model estimates how many goals each team is likely to score, accounting for factors such as recent form, shooting and save percentages, home-ice advantage, and rest.

These projections power our NHL predictions, which show the probability of each team winning, covering the puck line, and the total goals going over or under the betting line.

Wild vs. Kraken odds

Here are the best available odds across the moneyline, puck line, and total goals markets monitored by Dimers.

• Wild moneyline: 60¢ (Novig)
• Kraken moneyline: 41¢ (Novig)
• Wild -1.5: 37¢ (Novig)
• Kraken +1.5: 64¢ (Novig)
• Over 6.5 goals: 46¢ (Novig)
• Under 6.5 goals: 55¢ (Novig)

Odds are subject to change and may vary by location.

Best value bet: Kraken moneyline (41¢)

The Wild may be more likely to win, but Dimers' top value bet is the Kraken moneyline at 41¢, available at Novig.

Those odds imply the Kraken have a 41.0% chance of winning, while our model puts that probability at 42.3%.

That's a 1.3% edge in the Kraken's favor, the largest across the moneyline, puck line, and total goals markets based on Dimers' probabilities and the best available odds.
