Seattle Kraken vs. St. Louis Blues Prediction

I’m on the Kraken here. I just think that the Kraken are the better team even though this is a bit of a Blues style spot with Seattle being on a back-to-back in this game. However, St. Louis has been brutal for much of this season, and I’m just not interested in laying any sort of price with the Blues in their current form. Seattle for me is still the play and especially at this price. Give me the Kraken.
