Today’s Best NHL Bets

Seattle Kraken (Moneyline) -155

Originally, there was uncertainty surrounding whether Timo Meier would be in the Sharks' lineup on Monday. However, not only did the team announce that Meier will be out, but we now know that Tomas Hertl will also be out. San Jose is a bottom-10 team offensively, and taking their two best players away should be a critical hit to their offense. And, standing in the way of the Kraken, who rank fourth in goals per 60 minutes year-to-date, is James Reimer, who hasn't started since Jan. 27th. The Kraken are currently sitting at -155, which is a bit of surprise considering the news, but the lack of respect from the market hasn't led to change of heart. Seattle is still a good moneyline bet.
