Kraken vs Hockey Club Prediction

The Kraken have had issues stringing together success, and home court hasn’t made much of a difference for them this season. The Utah Hockey Club are playing their best hockey of the season right now, and that includes earning points in eight of their last 10 games. Utah has 16 road wins on the season, so this isn’t a team that’s going to be intimated in this spot. If Utah is going to build on this success and sneak into the playoffs this season, these are games it needs to take advantage of. The Kraken are a below-average team at this stage and has not much left to play for in terms of the standings. Give me Utah and the cheap price.
