Seattle Kraken vs. Detroit Red Wings Prediction

I’m on the Kraken here. I get why Detroit would be favored at home, but the thing for me in this game is that I just haven’t loved what I’ve seen from Detroit from an offensive perspective, as the goalscoring has been inconsistent and while the defense against New York was solid, you’re going to have a hard time winning games scoring 1-2 goals a night. The Kraken have been decent across the board out of the gate and I think that Seattle is getting a really solid price here that I want to act on. Give me Seattle.
