Wild vs Kraken Prediction
The Wild are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the Kraken and have won their last four visits in Seattle.
In this Wild vs Kraken Prediction, the Wild are coming as -150 road favorites. The Wild are being overvalued in this spot, as they have back-to-back losses, their previous one against the Flames and are just 2-5 on the road. They will be facing a Kraken team that is 5-2 in its last 7 games, 3-1 at home and have scored 9 total goals in their last two games. The Kraken are also playing their third straight game at home, while the Wild are in the middle of a five-game road trip. I like the value with the home dog in this matchup, so take the Kraken on the moneyline for plus money.
