Kraken vs Oilers Prediction

When thinking about a moneyline wager in this game, our evaluation indicates that the Oilers will take down the Kraken. Nonetheless, given the current odds of -284, I’d recommend getting bet down on the puck line instead, as our predictions point to the Oilers winning by more than one goal.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Oilers to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Oilers to win this one by multiple goals over the Kraken.

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.
