Blackhawks vs Kraken Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Blackhawks to take down the Kraken on the road. With the moneyline currently at +136, I’m placing my bet on the Blackhawks straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Blackhawks winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Blackhawks straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will stay below that threshold, and we strongly suggest placing a bet on the under.
