Oilers vs Kraken Prediction
The Kraken and the plus money is worth a look, given how the Oilers have had issues stringing together wins. However, the Kraken have lost 3 straight games and have scored a combined 2 goals in those contests. Not ideal when going up against an explosive Edmonton side. The Oilers just beat the Kraken a few days ago on the road, 4-0. It’s about time the Oilers start piling up the wins at home after spending much of the last couple of weeks on the road. Give me the Oilers and the PL for max betting value.
