Blackhawks vs Kraken Betting Prediction
This game is going to be a lower scoring game. The Blackhawks are averaging 2.36 goals per game, while the Kraken are averaging 2.57 goals per game. These are both offenses that are going to have some major issues getting the offense going, and that is going to be the difference here. I expect only two or three goals are going to be scored total, and this game is going to stay under the total.
