Kraken vs. Flames Prediction

I’m backing the Flames here though I don’t love the game. Seattle has started to pick up their road play as of late, but this is a tough spot for them against a Flames team that’s had their number since joining the league and one that’s beaten some of the league’s best at home as of late. It’s not a terrible price with the Flames at home either all things considered, so give me Calgary here.
