Wild vs Kraken Prediction
The Wild are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings against the Kraken, having won their last four visits in Seattle. Over is 4-1 in their last 5 meetings.
In this Wild vs Kraken Prediction, the Wild are coming as -130 road favorites. The Wild have been the better team this season but they have been struggling lately with a 1-3 record in their last four games and have back-to-back road defeats and are playing their fourth straight game on the road. The Kraken have not been doing much better, as they have five consecutive losses, three of them at home and they have one of the leagues’ weakest offenses and an atrocious penalty kill. I like the value with the short road favorite in this matchup, so take the Wild on the moneyline.
