The Seattle Kraken visit the Washington Capitals on Sunday, October 11, 2026. Seattle comes in with a 3-2 record, while Washington holds a slightly better 3-1 record. Both teams have shown they can win, but the Capitals have been a bit more efficient early in the season.
Looking at the betting odds, Washington is favored at home with a moneyline of -218, meaning you’d need to bet $218 to win $100 on the Capitals outright. Seattle’s moneyline is +180, so a $100 bet on the Kraken would win $180 if they pull off the upset. This indicates the Capitals are the stronger side in this matchup.
The spread is set at 1.5 goals. Seattle is +1.5 at -142, meaning you’d have to bet $142 to win $100 if you think the Kraken will lose by only one goal or win the game outright. Washington is -1.5 at +120, so a $100 bet wins $120 if the Capitals win by two or more goals. This spread suggests the Capitals are expected to win comfortably but not blow out Seattle.
The total goals line is 6.5 with the over at even money (100) and under at -120. The odds slightly favor the under, suggesting the game might be a bit tighter and lower scoring than a typical high-scoring NHL game.
Overall, the Capitals are the favorites, but Seattle’s value on the moneyline and spread makes them worth considering if you expect a close game. The under 6.5 goals might be a safer play for those expecting defensive play.
