Boston Bruins vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
The Bruins are coming off a couple of nice wins, but we can’t ignore the struggles before those two contests. The Bruins were getting beat over the head defensively and couldn’t find the back of the net offensively. The Kraken are one of the hottest teams in the NHL with wins in 7 of their last 8 games and their offense is on fire. The Kraken are making bettors money hand over fist right now, cashing endless underdog tickets. I’ll gladly take the more favorable price with the Kraken at home.
