Golden Knights vs. Kraken Prediction

I’m on the Golden Knights here. Vegas may have taken their lumps as of late, but the Golden Knights are still the better team by a fair margin here. The Kraken have been inconsistent all year long and I’m not suddenly expecting that to change in this game against a division rival. Vegas has owned this matchup in recent years, and I’m thinking that the Golden Knights are favored on the road for a reason here. Give me Vegas.
