Edmonton Oilers vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction

I’m on the Oilers here. The Oilers are the only team with anything to play for at this point, and the Kraken for me aren’t a team I even trust to play spoiler at this point. Seattle just looks like a team that’s playing out the string because they’re contractually obligated to do so. Edmonton looks like they’re still interested in the division title or at least catching the Kings for home ice in the first-round playoff series, and I think that the Oilers will keep up their dominance over the Kraken head-to-head here. Give me Edmonton.
