Seattle Kraken vs. Ottawa Senators Prediction
I’m on the Kraken here. The Senators have been a decent team to back on the second half of a back-to-back going back to last year, but the Sens flat out have not looked good defensively at all this season and I’ not expecting that to change against a rested Seattle team that’s been decent early on this season. Seattle was in it nip and tuck before falling short against the Habs but I think the Kraken get their get back here. Give me the Kraken and the plus money.
