Bruins at Kraken projected goalies
Linus Ullmark (29-4-1, 1.88 GAA, .937 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Martin Jones (23-10-3, 2.95 GAA, .892 SV%, 3 SO)
Ullmark has held foes to 1 or 2 goals in 10 of his last 13 games. The betting favorite for the Vezina Trophy owns a sparkling .939 SV% over that stretch – and that’s barely over his season mark.
Jones has logged an .846 SV% across 3 starts this month. He owns a shaky .862 SV% over his last 8 games.

Bruins at Kraken picks and predictions
Prediction
Bruins 4, Kraken 2
Moneyline
The goaltender matchup gives Boston a significant edge here. The Bruins have had 8 multi-game road trips this season: they are 8-0 in the openers.
But consider a PASS here and shooting for the plus-money on the Puck line.
Puck line/Against the spread
The Bruins are a top-shelf club when it comes to scoring and preventing goals. Against the top-2 scoring teams and top-2 defensive teams in the Western Conference, Seattle is a combined 3-6.
Nine of Boston’s last 10 wins have been by multiple scores. And that has been during a powerplay slump for the most part (Bruins 2 for their last 31 with the man advantage).
TAKE BOSTON -1.5 (+145).
Over/Under
PASS: A lot of respect for both offenses, especially Boston’s – and for Ullmark and the Bruins blueliners.
