The Kraken’s offense has been a major problem all season and they are averaging only 2.83 goals per game. The Sabres offense is going to jump out to a fast start here, and the Kraken’s defense is going to have no answer. The Sabres will jump out to a fast start, and they will cruise here. Back the Sabres on the puck line.
