Our second game of NHL predictions has the Seattle Kraken taking on the Boston Bruins in the final meeting for the two teams this season. Joey Daccord will probably get the start after Philipp Grubauer got the call against the New Jersey Devils. Entering Wednesday’s game, Seattle had a 7-1-2 mark in its last 10 games. Prior to the game against the Devils, Jordan Eberle and Matty Beniers are tied for the team lead in points with 29.

Boston is expected to give Jeremy Swayman the nod in this game. The Bruins are 6-3-1 in their previous 10 games, including a four-game winning streak. Many didn’t expect Boston to be in the postseason debate, but Marco Sturm has the team playing well. New father Morgan Geekie leads the club in goals with 25 so far.

Both teams are playing well. However, Boston has more rest after Seattle played on Wednesday night.

Prediction: Bruins win 5-2.
