Seattle Kraken vs Boston Bruins prediction
The Boston Bruins have put together a sluggish week, and it was enough for me to consider the road dog in this spot. However, the Seattle Kraken aren’t lighting the world on fire themselves, and they’re just not consistent enough for me to pull the trigger on the road in particular. The Bruins are still dominant overall, and they’re 17-6-4 on their home ice. Also, only the Blackhawks have lost more money for bettors this season than the Kraken. You’re not making money backing the Kraken this season, and there’s little value in backing them on the road against one of the best teams in the league. Give me the Bruins and the PL for max betting value.
