Blue Jackets vs. Kraken Prediction

I’m on the Kraken here. It’s a bit of a tricky spot, but the Kraken are coming off of that confidence-boosting win over Vegas and they are at home here. Not to mention Seattle also owned the recent head-to-head with Columbus. The Blue Jackets are stumbling and can’t get out of their own way right now, and I just think Seattle takes care of business here. Give me the Kraken.
