Kraken vs Hurricanes Prediction

In this Kraken vs Hurricanes Prediction, the Hurricanes are coming as -410 favorites. The Canes have been the second-best team in all hockey and the best in the East and have been scorching-hot lately, with a 7-1 record in their last 8 games, playing excellent defense, having allowed two goals or less in six of their last eight. On the flip side, the Kraken are 1-3 in their last 4 games and their offense has been struggling, having scored two goals or less in three of their last four and they lost 4-1 in the first game of this double-header in Finland. I don’t expect a different outcome today, so take the Hurricanes on the puckline.

The Hurricanes are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings against the Kraken and the under is 8-1-1 in their 10 meetings.
