New York Rangers vs Seattle Kraken Prediction 

Seattle comes into this matchup on a four-game winning streak and they are playing their best hockey of the season, but they will play one of the best teams in the NHL here. The Kraken are 6-3-1 at home this year, while the Rangers are 5-1-0 on the road. New York has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but I think their defense will be the difference. New York is allowing just 2.53 goals per game and I like them to win by at least two goals.
