The St. Louis Blues and Seattle Kraken will play the final game of this short slate of NHL games today.
This is St. Louis' second game of the year and Seattle's fifth. The Blues made quick work of Columbus last week, defeating them 5-2. They will look to have the same luck today in Seattle.
The Kraken have had a rough start to the season, losing three of their first four games. Their only win was an upset against the LA Kings.

Having only played one game this season, and considering the fact it was four days ago, Jordan Binnington will receive the call in net tonight. He'll be fresh and should have no problems against this sorry Seattle team.
For Seattle, the backup, Martin Jones, gets the start. Jones recorded Seattle's only win. If that trend continues, he may move up in the depth chart. However, that likely won't happen. Philipp Grubauer is a fantastic goalie and he should straighten things out soon enough.

St. Louis Blues vs. Seattle Kraken Best Picks
Vladimir Tarasenko scored two goals in the home opener; he has carried the team for quite some time, and it looks like he has no plans of stopping. Seattle's defense will likely have no answer for him. Bettors should expect him to have his way on the ice.
Vladimir Tarasenko to Record a Point (-140)
Martin Jones has been the better goalie for Seattle this season. While the Kraken defense will allow plenty of shots to come his way, he'll be a wall in net. His prop for saves is another easy play.

St. Louis Blues vs. Seattle Kraken Prediction
The Kraken have looked terrible opening the season. The Blues have high aspirations this season, and seeing how fresh the Blues should be, Seattle doesn't stand a chance. The home fans will be disappointed with the Kraken being run over tonight. Bettors should lock it in.
St. Louis -1.5 (+185)
