Sharks vs Kraken Prediction

I’m not sure why anybody would take the Kraken in their current form, as they’re getting drilled over the head defensively and their offense hasn’t been much better. The Sharks are supposed to be bad on paper, but they’ve been finding ways to win lately, and they’re at their best at home where they have 10 victories. The fact this line is this cheap is extremely confusing. The Kraken are in terrible form and have been for a month. I’ll gladly take the Sharks and the cheap price on Saturday night.
