LA Kings vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
I’m on the Kraken here. I think that the Kings are a solid team that plays their best at home, but the Kraken have caught fire at home and sometimes that form and that momentum carries over and I think it could here as well. The road team’s also won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head between the two so I’ll take my shot on the Kraken in this one.
