Rangers vs. Kraken Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. I get why you’d look at the Kraken as a home dog given their current run, but the Kraken have either beaten below average teams or good teams that struggle on the road like Vegas. The Rangers have been at their best on the road this season and have owned the short head-to-head between these teams. I’ll side with the Rangers in this one.
