First period
Seattle Kraken vs Florida Panthers odds and picks start with Florida listed as the home side at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise.
The matchup sits on the 2026-03-24 regular-season slate as a group round game with Florida Panthers designated home and Seattle Kraken designated away.
Seattle’s blue line becomes a betting focal point with defenseman
Brandon Montour on the active roster while the Kraken also carry a confirmed goaltending option in
Joey Daccord.
Seattle’s early-game outlook is shaped by listed injury absences that include
Jared McCann (out, lower-body) and
Kaapo Kakko (out, lower body, injured reserve).
Seattle’s goaltending depth is impacted by
Matt Murray being out with a lower-body injury and placed on injured reserve with an expected six-week timeline.
A tighter first-period handicap follows from Seattle still listing multiple available forwards including
Matty Beniers,
Jordan Eberle,
Jaden Schwartz,
Chandler Stephenson,
Eeli Tolvanen, and
Shane Wright.
Second period
The midgame betting read leans into Seattle’s defensive structure because the Kraken list Adam Larsson, Vince Dunn, Jamie Oleksiak, Ryan Lindgren, Ryker Evans, Cale Fleury, Josh Mahura, and Brandon Montour as available defense options.
Florida’s home designation can influence the live market in the second period because Florida is the listed home competitor while Seattle is the listed away competitor for this scheduled contest.
Seattle’s second-period matchup stability is supported by having both Joey Daccord and
Philipp Grubauer available in goal while Matt Murray remains out.
Any in-game line movement is most plausibly tied to the injury statuses in the data, with McCann and Kakko both listed out for Seattle and Murray listed out on injured reserve.
Third period
Late-game wagering angles for Seattle center on depth forwards who remain available, including Frederick Gaudreau, Mason Marchment, Tye Kartye, Ryan Winterton, Jani Nyman, Berkly Catton, and Oscar Fisker Molgaard.
Florida’s role as the home team keeps the third-period spread and moneyline market sensitive to game state because the venue and home designation are fixed for this matchup.
Seattle’s closing push is best framed through lineup availability since the Kraken still list core skaters like Beniers, Eberle, Schwartz, Stephenson, Tolvanen, Larsson, Dunn, and Oleksiak as active options despite the notable injury absences.
Final horn betting outlook
This NHL betting preview Seattle Kraken vs Florida Panthers stays anchored to the roster facts that show McCann, Kakko, and Murray all listed out for Seattle while Daccord and Grubauer remain available goaltending options.
