Ottawa Senators vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction

I’m on Ottawa here. I think the Senators are just playing the better hockey right now and I have no desire to back the Kraken in their current form if I’m being honest. The Senators should be able to ride their goaltending to the finish line here, while Ottawa has had inconsistencies, Seattle has been consistently poor as of late. Give me the Sens.
