Kraken vs Devils Prediction
When it comes to a moneyline bet in this game, our analysis leans towards the Devils picking up the win. However, given the current odds of -254, I’d advise going with the puck line, as our predictions have the Devils coming out on top by more than one goal.
When making a puck line pick, we’re backing the Devils to win and cover. Watch for the Devils to win this game by multiple goals over the Kraken.
With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
