Seattle Kraken vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction

You can make a case for the Kraken, as they’re coming off two underdog wins and just beat the Panthers yesterday as +200 underdogs. The problem is the Kraken are on the end of a back-to-back, but they’ve still lost 15 road games. The Lightning have the rest advantage and they’ve scored 20 goals in their last four games. The Lightning are 18-7-2 at home this season. The Lightning have also won six of their last seven games against the Kraken. Five of those wins were decided by two or more goals. I’ll roll with the Lightning at home and take the PL to shave down the price.
