Final Kraken-Sabres Prediction & Pick

Expected a very low-scoring game in this game. The Kraken has been winning a lot as of late, but they are doing it in a low-scoring fashion. They have scored just 16 goals in the last six games, but have won all of them. That is because they have given up just six goals in the last six games. Joey Daccord is playing great, and there is no reason for that to end in this game. The Sabres have struggled to score regularly. Take the under in this one.

Final Kraken-Sabres Prediction & Pick: Under 6.5 (-122)
