Kraken vs Blackhawks Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Blackhawks to defeat the Kraken while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +149, I’m placing a wager on the Blackhawks to win outright.

Our projections have the Blackhawks pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Blackhawks, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to 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.
