Kraken vs Golden Knights Prediction

When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Kraken to come out with a win against the Golden Knights while playing on the road. Considering the moneyline odds at +163, I’m placing my bet on the Kraken to win outright.

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

For those assessing the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will stay below that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the under.
