Flyers at Kraken picks and predictions
Prediction
Kraken 4, Flyers 2
Moneyline
The Kraken (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return in this home game at Climate Pledge Arena.
The Flyers are ice-cold and cannot be trusted, either.
AVOID.
Puck line/Against the spread
The KRAKEN -1.5 (+120) on the puck line at plus money is a much better value, especially on home ice.
Seattle hasn’t won by 2 or more goals since Jan. 28 at home against Columbus, so there is some risk and it might come down to an empty-net goal late to get over the hump considering how Hart is playing.
Over/Under
The UNDER 6.5 (-140) is a little on the expensive side, but the Under is definitely the play with a pair of goaltenders performing very well.
The Under is 7-0-1 in the past 8 road games for the Flyers while going 4-1 in the past 6 games overall, and 4-1 in the past 5 against winning teams.
For the Kraken, the Under is 14-5-2 in the past 21 games at Climate Pledge Arena, while hitting at a 10-3-1 clip in the past 14 against Metropolitan Division foes.
