Kraken vs Canucks Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Canucks to defeat the Kraken while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -150, I’m placing a wager on the Canucks to win outright.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Canucks to secure the win and cover. Expect the Canucks to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Kraken.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
