Winnipeg Jets vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
Winnipeg comes into this matchup with an undefeated record to start the season and they are allowing fewer than two goals per game. The Jets have played very well on both ends of the ice and their power play is scoring at a 44% clip. Seattle is above .500 through seven games, but their offense is definitely a concern for me this season. I know the Jets are going to lose eventually, but with the style of hockey they are playing, I have to keep riding them here. Take Winnipeg to get the win.
