Kraken vs Penguins: Odds & Prediction

Seattle is a +120 underdog, while Pittsburgh is a -142 favorite with the over/under set at 6.5 goals.

The Kraken and Penguins are both playing poorly as of late, but this is a good spot for Seattle to win as an underdog. Daccord has been good in net and he should be able to limit the Penguins' offense, while Jarry has been very inconsistent this season for Pittsburgh.

Seattle should be able to edge out a very close win here, in a game that could go into OT, but the difference will be Daccord.

Prediction: Kraken 3, Penguins 2.
