Kraken vs. Bruins Prediction
I’m on the Bruins here. Both of these teams started their #2 goaltenders yesterday so while Daccord may have a solid start, it won’t help him if his offense can’t score as it’s been unable to for the better part of the last week or so. Boston’s had issues of their own, but they got back on track on Saturday and are at home where historically they’ve played their best hockey. I think this is a good spot for Boston to pick up some steam so give me the Bruins.
