How to Watch: US TV: KHN/KONG; Fan Duel Sports NorthX; Amazon Prime; ESPN+. Canada TV: Sportsnet+.

Time: 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Our final game of NHL predictions has the Seattle Kraken visiting the Minnesota Wild. Joey Daccord will likely get the start after Philipp Grubauer got the call on Monday night against the Winnipeg Jets. Heading into Monday’s games, Seattle has dropped eight of its last nine games. Kaapo Kakko has six points in the team’s last 10 games heading into Monday’s game.

Filip Gustavsson is the probable starter for the Wild, who are 6-4 in their previous 10 games. This includes three consecutive victories heading into the final meeting of the season between the two teams. Ryan Hartman has six goals and nine points in his last 10 games played.

Seattle will be coming off a game against Winnipeg. Minnesota should get the win in this one.

Prediction: Wild win 5-2.
