Vancouver Canucks vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction
I’m on the Kraken here. I just trust Seattle more in their current form right now, and Seattle continues to be banged up and are clearly missing Quinn Hughes on that defensive line. The Kraken are in a solid run of form right now, and I think that at home, Seattle gets it done here. Give me the Kraken and the reasonable price at home.
