The Calgary Flames and Seattle Kraken got their seasons started against one another back on Thursday night, and they’re right back at it Sunday after switching venues. However, they both also had games sandwiched between the season opener and this rematch, both of which were just last night. So, when it comes to a best Flames vs Kraken prediction, they’re on rather even footing.
Well, that’s difficult to say after Seattle ran away with the season opener in 6-1 fashion. In other words, they picked up right where they left off last season; the Kraken torched the Flames 4-1 and 5-1 in their last two meetings. Even with that being the case, they aren’t massive home favorites. It certainly has something to do with the caliber of opponents these teams dealt with last night - the Kraken had Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers, while the Flames had arguably the worst team in the NHL: the Vancouver Canucks. So, let’s just root for goals with our best Flames vs. Kraken prediction for today.
We’ve already seen that Seattle can handle this low total themselves, and after getting worn out by McDavid and company last night, Calgary should be able to do more damage than just a single goal. Even if it’s another 6-1 beatdown, the over is still a winner here.
