Kraken vs Flames Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flames to take down the Kraken at home. With the moneyline currently at -148, I’m placing my bet on the Flames straight-up.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Kraken to cover. Even if the Flames secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Kraken should cover the puck line.

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.
