Detroit Red Wings vs Seattle Kraken prediction
The Detroit Red Wings and the plus money is worth a look given what they’ve done this season, but their defense has been shaky over the last week or so and makes them a bit hard to trust on the road. The Seattle Kraken have played their best hockey on their home ice, and they’ve won 4 of the 5 meetings against the Red Wings, which includes a 5-4 overtime win back in October. We’re not laying anything crazy. Give me the Kraken and the reasonable price at home.
