Kraken vs Senators Prediction
If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Senators to take down the Kraken at home. With the moneyline currently at -126, I’m placing my bet on the Senators straight-up.
For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Senators to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Senators to win this one by multiple goals over the Kraken.
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.
