Kraken vs Golden Knights Prediction

For a moneyline bet, we have the Golden Knights as the likely winner. However, with the current odds at -255, I’d suggest considering a puck line bet, as our predictions have the Golden Knights winning by more than one goal.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Golden Knights to secure the win and cover. Expect the Golden Knights to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Kraken.

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