Ottawa Senators vs Seattle Kraken Prediction
Neither the Kraken nor the Senators have had the best week, and they’ve both had issues defensively in their losses. The Senators have played their best hockey at home this season, where 4 of their 5 wins have come, and they’ve outscored their last two home opponents by a combined score of 13-5. The Kraken have allowed 4 or more goals in 4 of their last 7 games. The Kraken have probably been the slightly more impressive team up to this point, but I still give the Senators the edge at home, where they’ve been a completely different team.
