Seattle Kraken vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction
The Canadiens are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, especially with this being their home opener. However, the value is with the Kraken and the plus money with the way they’ve started the season. The Kraken are off to a fine start defensively, and they’re running into a Habs team they’ve lit up for 13 goals in the last 2 meetings. The Kraken are allowing a lot of shots, but Daccord is standing on his head up to this point. I’ll take a shot with the plus money and the Kraken.
