I was prepared to take the Penguins in this one, but they have opted not to start No. 1 netminder Tristan Jarry and instead Casey DeSmith. In four appearances this year, he's 0-3-1 with a 4.32 GAA and .867 SV. That's not good. Seattle has won its past three at home.

With news that Casey Desmith is expected to start for the Penguins, I will happily take the Kraken at home. Casey Desmith is 0-4-1 with a 4.32 GAA this season. The Kraken are 6-6-0 at home this season and they have sneakily won 3 of their last 4 games and 5 of their last 7. Phillip Grubauer has been much better lately after a tough start to the season. He has won 3 of his last 5 starts and he hasn’t allowed more than 3 goals in a start in his last 8 games. Take the value on the Kraken at home.
