Kraken vs Devils Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Devils to defeat the Kraken while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -151, I’m placing a wager on the Devils to win outright.

For a puck line prediction, our preference is the Devils to secure a win and cover. Anticipate the Devils to win this one by multiple goals over the Kraken.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6.5 goals, we believe that this game will remain below that figure, and we recommend wagering on the under.
