Kraken vs Hockey Club Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Hockey Club coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -223, I’d recommend looking to the puck line as our projections have the Hockey Club winning by more than one goal.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Hockey Club to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Hockey Club 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.
