Seattle Kraken vs NY Islanders Prediction
The NY Islanders are coming off a nice underdog win over the Canucks, but I need to see more before I can back them with confidence. The Islanders have issues offensively, and it’s led to some frustrating results, and they’re not making bettors money. The Seattle Kraken have seen 5 of their 8 wins come at home, and they’ve won 4 of the 6 games against the Islanders. The Kraken are coming off 3 straight wins and the defense is starting to settle in. Give me the Kraken at home and the reasonable price.
