Ducks vs Kraken Prediction

When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Kraken. Nevertheless, given the payout of -202, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Ducks to cover. Even if the Kraken win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Ducks should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
