Kraken vs Kings Prediction
I’m on the Kings here. I get the case to be made for the Kraken to finish the season on a high note for their fans at home, and there’s nothing to be gained for the Kings in this game. However, I think the Kings are simply the better team in this game, and I think they’ll want to maintain momentum going into the playoffs with a tough matchup against the Oilers coming up. I’ll side with Los Angeles for the win on the road here.
