San Jose Sharks vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction

I’m on the Sharks in this one. I just don’t think I’m at a point where the Kraken should be laying this kind of price against anyone. The Sharks haven’t been winning any games as of late in fairness prior to the win over Pittsburgh, but this has been a matchup ruled by the underdog and the Sharks have actually won the last three meetings between these two teams. I’ll side with the Sharks and the value attached to the plus money in this one. Give me San Jose.
