Kraken vs Predators Prediction
The Predators had a period where it looked like they were figuring things out. Now the Preds are losing tight games and the season is getting away from them quickly. The Kraken have been at their best at home and while they’re coming off back-to-back losses, they’re still in the thick of the playoff race. The Kraken can’t afford to lose games like this if they’re going to play deep into April. Must-win game for the Kraken if we’re being honest. Give me the home team.
