Still irked at the Predators as I went to bed last night with about 10 minutes left and them beating the Kings ... and they lost in a shootout. Can't say I "love" this game, but it's the only one on the short schedule worth a play. The Kraken stink again and St. Louis is 3-0-0 against Seattle all-time, including a 5-0 win in their only matchup at Climate Pledge Arena last season.

These two teams have started the season in completely opposite directions. The Blues have played just one game so far, but they won it handily. The Kraken have played four games and lost three of them. They have also lost both their home games and allowed 5 goals in three of their four games. The Kraken were 16-22-3 at home last season while the Blues were one of the best teams on the road at 27-14-6. I like the Blues on the road.
