Predators vs. Kraken Prediction
I’m on the Kraken here. One win for Nashville isn’t suddenly getting them back in my good graces, as this has been one of the most disappointing teams in the league up to this point in the year. The Kraken have been an easier team to back, and I think that Seattle can defend home ice here. Give me the Kraken and the plus money.
