Seattle Kraken vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
The Hurricanes are going to be huge favorites for obvious reasons, especially at home. However, this line is as if the Kraken are one of the worst teams in the league, and that’s just not the case. This is a price you’d see when the Avs play the Canucks. This is crazy. The Kraken are racking up the points, finishing games, and the offense has seen an uptick lately. Given the price, I’ll gladly take a shot with the Kraken on the road.
