Seattle Kraken vs Boston Bruins Prediction

I’m on the Kraken here. I know the Bruins will be eager to bounce back after a rough showing against the Jets, but every time I’m ready to give the Bruins the benefit of the doubt, they let me down and the Bruins have had a lot of recent success, but it was at home against bad teams. On the road, I haven’t always liked what I’ve seen from Boston and I think Seattle defends home ice here. Give me the Kraken.
