Rickenbach NHL prediction Kraken vs Islanders Feb 2

Rickenbach NHL Free Pick Wednesday Seattle Kraken Money Line +165 @ New York Islanders @ 7 ET – The Kraken are off B2B losses but had won 4 of 6 games before that plus they have played a tough schedule of late. Look at the teams they have faced recently and then look at what the Islanders have done this season and you can see that New York is over-priced here. Though the Isles are off a win last night, they had lost 3 of 4 games before that and the only win was against a Flyers team that was wrapping up a 13-game losing streak! Also, the Isles used #1 goalie Sorokin last night while the Kraken saved #1 goalie Grubauer for tonight’s game and used Driedger last night. The Islanders do have the significant coaching edge here but the pricing on this game is way out of whack and I feel the Kraken are absolutely worth a look as they have a solid shot at scoring the big upset in this one. Islanders are 0-5 in Varlamov’s starts in non-conf games and 2-7 in his home starts this season and I expect him to be in the crease for this one. Free Pick SEATTLE +165
