Ottawa Senators vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
The Seattle Kraken haven’t been able to string together success this season, and they have several games where their defense goes to crap. The Ottawa Senators are playing their best hockey of the season, with a 7-2-0-1 record in their last 10 games. The Senators shut out the Kraken last month, and they’ve won 3 of the last 4 games against them overall. The Senators are rolling right now and the defense is getting tighter by the game. Pick ’em price, I have to ride the hot hand and roll with the Senators.
