The Anaheim Ducks have been fade material all season long, especially on the road, where they have pretty much no success. The Seattle Kraken are closing in on clinching a playoff spot, and they’re due for a breakout performance at home. There are no excuses for the Kraken in this spot. Give me Seattle and the PL for max betting value.
