Seattle Kraken vs. Los Angeles Kings Prediction

I’m on the Kraken here. I get the case to be made for the Kings at home, but the Kings at home have not been worth backing, especially at crazy prices like this. The Kraken also get their olympic break after this while the Kings have one more game to play so I think we see a stronger effort from Seattle here to get the job done. Give me Seattle in this one.
