Vancouver Canucks vs Seattle Kraken Prediction

The Vancouver Canucks have been the better team this season and they’re playing the better hockey overall right now. The Kraken have lost seven of their last 10 games and they’ve been getting rocked defensively through most of them. The Canucks have also been road warriors all year where they’ve racked up 16 wins. The road team has won five of the last six games between the Kraken and Canucks. The fact we’re getting a slightly cheaper price with the Canucks feels a little too good to be true. I’ll lay the cheap price with the Canucks on the road.
