Seattle Kraken vs. Winnipeg Jets Prediction

I’m on the Jets in this one. I get the case to be made for an underdog like Seattle, but the Kraken have played themselves out of the playoffs and just look like a team that’s playing out the string. The Jets are still alive in the playoff hunt, and have turned up the heat to make one last push and I think Winnipeg gets the job done here. Give me Winnipeg.
