The Kraken should have a better season as they host the Blues in their season opener. Both teams are capable of putting up goals, and both have made off season additions to their offenses. The Kraken have played four preseason games so far where they averaged 5 goals a game while allowing 3 goals per game. Both goaltenders in this matchup haven’t been up to par and they should be a little rusty in this opening game. That bodes well for goals in this game as the total should go over.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
