Those Seattle unders are showing up as decent bets in the OddsShopper model, but William Karlsson’s assists under and shots on goal over are looking like the best player props for this matchup. Karlsson lit up the Kraken on Tuesday, getting six shots on goal and adding two assists, but that game was just his second with an assist in his last eight. The shots volume seems more replicable since he did that in only 15 minutes of ice time and he has gone over 1.5 shots on goal in four of his last seven.
