The Capitals are the more talented team and are going to be obvious favorites at home. The Caps have also won 5 of the last 7 games against the Kraken, which includes 3 straight wins where they’ve outscored them 9-3. However, the Kraken have earned points in 5 of their first 6 games, and that sort of success and competitiveness deserves a look in the big underdog role. Taking games to overtime and scrapping for points, I’d love to have a ticket in my pocket for a chance to make two times my money. Give me the Kraken for a shot in the dark on Tuesday night.
