Blues vs Kraken Prediction
I’m not excited to back the St. Louis Blues in the favorite role, but somebody has to win this game, and I’d give the edge to the home team. Neither the Kraken nor the Blues are playing good hockey, but the Kraken have lost 16 times on the road. Also, the Blues have won four straight games against the Kraken, scoring three or more goals in three of those games. The Kraken have been sloppy defensively as of late, so this is a chance for the Blues to get rolling. The price is somewhat reasonable. I’ll lean the Blues against the Kraken on Tuesday night.
