Flyers vs. Kraken Prediction

I’m leaning toward the Kraken here. I really wanted to get there with the Flyers and the plus money, but I think the Kraken have the edge in goaltending here and finally get back home. That’s key for me considering the home team won both meetings between these two teams last season, and I think that Philadelphia’s reeling a bit from falling apart against Edmonton late in that game. I think the Kraken can get the job done so give me Seattle.
