Canadiens vs Kraken Prediction 

Seattle has started the season with two straight wins and they pulled off a nice upset against Vegas in their last game. The Kraken have allowed one goal in each game this year, but their offense hasn’t been great. Montreal has won two games in a row and will be at home for the first time this season. Both of these teams are playing well right now, but I have to side with Montreal, as I think they are the better team and I don’t love Seattle on the road. Take Montreal to win here.
