Edmonton Oilers vs Seattle Kraken Prediction

The Edmonton Oilers are playing their second game in a row, but that probably doesn’t matter. The Oilers are playing their best hockey of the season, which includes wins in 7 of their last 10 games. The Oilers have improved greatly defensively during this winning streak. It’s fair to say the Oilers are no longer in a final hangover. The Seattle Kraken continue to be hit or miss, mainly with an offense that comes and goes. It’s hard to see the Kraken find their footing against an Oilers team that’s won 8 of the last 9 games against them. The Kraken have allowed 3 or more goals in 7 of their last 8 games. Not ideal when going up against the Oilers. Give me the Oilers and the somewhat reasonable price.
