Flyers vs Kraken Prediction

In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Flyers won 5-2 at home, but the Kraken are 5-1 in their 6 meetings before that.

In this Flyers vs Kraken Prediction, the Flyers are coming as -132 road favorites. The Flyers have both more points and wins than the Kraken this season and both teams are coming into this matchup in good form, as the Kraken have back-to-back wins and the Flyers have won three straight. I don’t trust the Flyers on the road, so I will pass on the side, but both teams have been very effective offensively lately, as the Kraken have scored 3+ goals in each of their last three games and the Flayers have scored 3+ in their last five. Their previous meeting this season had seven total goals, so I’m taking the over 5.5 goals in this one.
