Chicago Blackhawks vs Seattle Kraken prediction

The Blackhawks are going nowhere fast as they’re a young team that’s banged up, can’t produce offense and it hurts the defense. The Blackhawks are also a brutal 4-20-1 on the road this season. It’s hard to make a case for the Blackhawks in spots like this, regardless of how much plus money you’re getting. The Seattle Kraken need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to chip away in the standings, and they beat the Blackhawks 7-1 a little over a month ago. Give me the Kraken and the PL for max betting value.
