Seattle Kraken vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

Like many teams that have nothing to play for at this point, the Kraken have thrown in the towel and are getting rocked defensively. The Kraken has allowed 4 or more goals in 5 of their last 7 games. The Golden Knights are enjoying a strong couple of weeks and while they already clinched and could sit guys, I’m sure they want to keep the momentum rolling. The Kraken has checked out. No matter what the lineup looks like, I’m going to side with the Golden Knights and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
