St. Louis Blues vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction

I’m on Seattle here. One win for St. Louis isn’t going to make me forget that the Blues have been one of the most inconsistent and frustrating teams to back for much of this season and I think this game is no different. Seattle’s had their flaws but they still play their best hockey at Climate Pledge and I think they get the win here. Give me Seattle.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Seattle -145
