Penguins vs Kraken Prediction

The Kraken come into this game with some nice recent wins under their belt, and they’re getting after it defensively. The Penguins are on the end of a back-to-back, and that could be problematic for a team that previously had several days off. The Kraken have also won 6 of the last 7 games against the Penguins, which includes outscoring them 10-3 in the last 3 meetings. I’ll take a stab with the Kraken on the road with the soft line.
