New Jersey Devils vs Seattle Kraken Betting prediction
The Seattle Kraken are better than this recent stretch indicates, and one would think they can turn things around at home. However, the Devils are coming off their best stretch of the season and their hot offense could give the Kraken and that shaky defense some problems. This doesn’t seem like a fun matchup for the Seattle Kraken to stop the bleeding. Give me the Devils and the cheap price.
