Flames vs. Kraken prediction, odds, pick – 10/19/2024
The Flames and the Kraken meet in Seattle! The Flames started off the season undefeated, while the Kraken have been solid up this point in the season as well. We continue our NHL odds series with a Flames-Kraken prediction and pick.
The Calgary Flames were inconsistent last year and missed the playoffs. They already seem like a better team and they have only played four games. Nazem Kadri was the biggest key for the team last season, but this season Jonathan Huberdeau has started off red-hot and has carried the Flames. This team has a lot of potential this season.
The Seattle Kraken were also very inconsistent this past season. Jared McCann and Jordan Eberle are the keys to the team’s success this season. They both started off this season red-hot and are key to the Kraken’s success. The Kraken are a wildcard of a team, but they have the pieces to have a solid season.
