Vegas Golden Knights vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
Seattle limps into this matchup on a four-game losing streak and they are just 2-3-1 at home this season. The Kraken have scored one goal or fewer in three of their last four games and they are scoring just 2.79 goals per game this season. Vegas has been very good at home this year, but they are just 1-3-1 on the road. The Golden Knights are scoring 4.46 goals per game and their power play is scoring on 33.3% of their chances. I don’t like Seattle’s lack of scoring and even though Vegas isn’t the best road team, I have to go with them here. Take the Golden Knights.
