Seattle Kraken vs Nashville Predators Prediction
Nashville comes into this game with an 0-2 record to start the season, but they have a ton of talent on this team and they are going to be very good this season. The Predators were just shut out by the Red Wings, but they dominated most of the game and put up over 40 shots on goal. Seattle has scored two goals or fewer in two of their first three games and the offense is going to be an issue this season. I think Nashville will continue their strong play from that Detroit game, but I expect them to score at least 3-4 goals. Take the Predators -1.5 here.
