Seattle Kraken vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction
I’m on the Jets here. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The Jets continue to find ways to get it done, and while the Kraken are a solid team at home, the Jets are just solid overall. If we keep getting reasonable and favorable prices with the Jets, I’m going to keep taking them as cashing them more often than not and profiting from it looks like a definite possibility with Hellebuyck in early-season Vezina form. Give me the Jets.
