Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. Seattle’s normally at their strongest at home, but this Toronto team has some pop offensively, and can put some goals on the board and on the other side, Toronto has found themselves in high-scoring games constantly, whether they’ve been on the front foot or have been shaky defensively. I think this is just going to be a high-scoring affair, so give me the over.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Over 6.5
