Calgary Flames vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction
I’m on the Kraken in this one. The Flames are a team I have earmarked for a top-3 pick in the NHL draft, and I think that has played out already this season. Seattle already dominated Calgary in the opener and I think Seattle could replicate that performance here. Give me the Kraken at home.
