Predators at Kraken picks and predictions
Prediction
Kraken 3, Predators 2
Moneyline
The KRAKEN (-120) are a decent play against the sub-.500 Predators.
Seattle didn’t have the same type of expansion season success as its first-year predecessors from Vegas, but the Kraken are enjoying a tremendous second NHL campaign. You can confidently bet Seattle, especially with young star C Matty Beniers combining with veterans LW Andre Burakovsky and C Jaden Schwartz to roll up some solid offensive totals.
Puck line/Against the spread
The Predators +1.5 (-240) will cost you nearly 2 1/2 times your potential return if you’re looking for insurance and just can’t play them straight up.
While Seattle is playing well lately, it is still just 2-5 in the past 7 tries against Central Division foes, so be careful.
PASS.
Over/Under
UNDER 6.5 (-130) is a strong play, as Jones is playing with a ton of confidence for the Kraken. He has allowed just the 3 goals in his past 3 starts. While he is due for a stinker, the Predators aren’t an offensive juggernaut likely to put a dent in his statistics.
Keep rolling with the Under in Preds games, as Nashville is scoring just 2.8 GPG this season to rank 28th. It is also just 29th on the power play at 14.9%, while killing penalties at an 82.6% clip to rank 7th in the NHL.
