Bruins vs Kraken Prediction

Both teams are tied 4-4 in their 8 meetings and their last three meetings in Seattle have gone over the total.

In this Bruins vs Kraken Prediction, the Bruins are coming as -117 road favorites. The Bruins have been the better team this season with more points and overall wins and are facing a Kraken team that is playing its second leg of a back-to-back, but have been playing their best hockey of the season lately. The Bruins have back-to-back wins and have a better offense, power play and penalty kill. I cannot back the Kraken in the second end of a back-to-back, especially when they had to travel back home from Calgary last night, so take the Bruins on the moneyline in this one.
