Seattle is 2-5 in their last 7 home games and 1-5 in their last 6 games following a win while the over is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games against the Central division.
Pick
I’m backing the Kraken here. The Coyotes just look like they’ve waved the white flag on the season and that was at home where they’ve played a lot of their better hockey this season. Now, the Coyotes have hit the skids and are on the road where they’ve been awful for much of the season against a Kraken team that can lock up a playoff spot with a win here. I think the Kraken take it to the Coyotes here and leave no doubt. Give me Seattle -1.5 here.
