Seattle Kraken vs. New York Islanders Prediction

I’m on the Kraken in this one. Both teams are on the back-to-back here, but I think the Islanders starting David Rittich here is a downgrade in goal, and Seattle’s playing some really solid hockey right now after their win against Pittsburgh. The Islanders have been playing well in their own right but I think the Kraken get the win at a great price here. Give me Seattle here.
