Jani Nyman o1.5 Shots on Goal (-120)
Nyman has recorded two or more shots in six consecutive games, and his 19.04 attempts per 60 minutes pace the Kraken. The rookie is skating in a top-six role and has averaged 2:21 of power-play time during the stretch. Vancouver doesn’t check out as a prime matchup for opposing shooters, but Nyman projects to serve as the primary shooter on a line with pass-first veterans Chandler Stephenson and Jordan Eberle. Plus, Nyman averaged 2.47 shots per game in the AHL, with his 136 pacing the Coachella Valley Firebirds.

o5.5 (-109)
Seattle has owned this head-to-head of late, winning six of the last eight meetings with Vancouver, with three of those wins coming as moneyline underdogs. A win on Wednesday would give the Kraken the season series, taking three of four. The more logical bet, though, is the Over. No matter how they've been scoring or playing, topping the total seems to always be in the cards when Seattle and Vancouver square off. These teams have cashed the Over in nine of the last 10 matchups, including all three this season at 5.5 goals — the same number set for Wednesday. The Canucks have cashed the Over in six of their last seven, while the Kraken have seen the Over go 4-2-1 over their last seven.
