Devils vs. Kraken Prediction: Monday, December 6th

The Devils are going through their first speed bump of the season as they’ve now lost 4 games in a row but fear not; this team is built much better than years past. Tonight is also a perfect chance to get that losing stink off of them too against a Seattle team that is under .500 and starting their lesser of two options at goalie in Philipp Grubauer.

The Seattle goalie has given up a 3.47 GAA this season and holds a SV% well under average at .879! He is also 53rd in goals saved above expected among 60 goalies that have made 10 or more starts this season.

This of course sets up a wager on the Devils to win tonight and backing them on the Money Line would be a smash, but you’d be playing some major juice. Instead of eating the chalk let’s ride the Puck Line at -1.5 at plus money odds as the Devils are due a huge game and the Kraken are 19-21 against the spread this season!
