New Jersey Devils vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
The Kraken are getting drilled defensively during this losing stretch, and they’re running into a hot Devils side that’s playing some of their best hockey of the season. The Devils have 15 road wins this season. The Devils have also won 6 straight games against the Kraken, which includes an overtime win less than two weeks ago. The Kraken haven’t beat the Devils since January 2023. Early start time on the west for a team with an east coast body clock. I’ll still ride the hot hand and side with the Devils and the cheap price.
