Seattle Kraken vs New York Rangers Prediction

The New York Rangers have been in a funk these last couple of weeks, but they’re slowly showing signs of shaking things off with a couple of wins, and we know what the offense is capable of most nights. The Seattle Kraken have been getting peppered defensively, and that’s not ideal in a spot like this on the road. Early games usually favor the home team, and it’s the Rangers that have won 6 of the 7 games against the Kraken. One of those wins was a shutout a couple of weeks ago. Give me the Rangers and the PL for max betting value.
