Seattle Kraken vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction
I’m on the Maple Leafs here. I think the Kraken have been highly competitive this season, but this is just a bad spot against a solid Toronto team that has gotten back on track as of late and Toronto has owned this matchup since Seattle joined the league, with Toronto winning 7 of the 8 all-time meetings between these two teams. Give me the Maple Leafs here.
