The Kraken are averaging 2.91 goals per game, and they are going to really struggle to get anything going against Hellebyuck. He is going to dominate this game and it wouldn’t be shocking if he ended up with seven shutouts. The Jets will score at least three goals and that will be the difference here. Back the Jets on the puck line.
