Kraken vs Golden Knights Prediction
The Kraken won all three meetings against the Knights this season, winning their only meeting in Vegas by 3-2. Both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 meetings but the Knights are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Kraken in Vegas.
In this Kraken vs Golden Knights Prediction, the Golden Knights are coming as -300 home favorites. The Knights need the win to clinch the first place of the Pacific but this line is absurd. The Kraken were chasing a playoff spot until recently but are 2-7 in their last 9 games, while the Knights are 6-1 in their last 7, but -300 moneyline is way overpriced. I don’t trust either side in this spot, but both teams had at least six total goals in 13 of their last 16 games combined, so I will go over the 6 goals in this one.
