Kraken vs Bruins Prediction 

Boston comes into this matchup on a four game winning streak and they have allowed a total of three goals during that span. The Bruins are 16-8-1 at home this year, while the Kraken are 11-8-4 on the road. Seattle has lost three of their last four games and they have scored two goals in each of those losses. The Kraken are trending in the wrong direction right now and they are on a back to back after playing last night. The Bruins are playing at an elite level right now, so I like them to win by at least two goals here.
