Oilers vs Kraken Prediction
I’m on the Oilers here. Seattle’s had a nice run of form as of late, but they’ve had the majority of that success at home. On the road, the Kraken have been a tad more inconsistent and really hard to get a read for. Edmonton’s had the upper hand in a lot of their recent outings, and head-to-head, it’s been all Edmonton for the better part of the last couple of seasons, winning 9 of the last 10 meetings between the two sides. Give me Edmonton here.
