Nashville Predators vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
I’m on the under here. These are two teams that have had issues finding the net early on this season, but if we see the starters of Saros and Daccord here, I think this has the makings of a solid goalie battle. I think this is going to end up being a first to 3 wins kind of game, so give me the under here.
