Sharks vs Kraken Prediction
When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Kraken. Nevertheless, given the payout of -206, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.
My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Sharks to cover. Even if the Kraken win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Sharks should cover the puck line.
When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will remain below that figure, and we recommend wagering on the under.
