Kraken vs Bruins Prediction

When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Bruins. Nevertheless, given the payout of -177, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Kraken to cover. Even in the event of a Bruins victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Kraken should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
