Montreal Canadiens vs Seattle Kraken Prediction

I’m going to take a shot on Montreal here. I just haven’t loved what I’ve seen from the Kraken as of late, and the offensive issues and droughts that plagued the Kraken on more than one occasion last year have reared their ugly head once again. The Habs are far from world beaters, but they play their best at home, and I think they can salvage a win here. Give me Montreal.
