How to Watch: US TV: Scripps Vegas, KHN, KONG, KING 5, ESPN+, Amazon Prime Video. Canada TV: SN Pacific, TVA Sports

Time: 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Our second and final game of NHL predictions is a Pacific Division matchup between the Seattle Kraken and the Vegas Golden Knights. Seattle is likely to give Nikke Kokko the start in this game to give the youngster some reps. The Kraken are going to miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth time in their first five seasons. However, Seattle has beaten Vegas all three times so far this season. Captain Jordan Eberle leads the team in points with 55.

Carter Hart is the projected starter for the Golden Knights, who are going to the playoffs again. Vegas is 6-1-3 in the last 10 games, including two consecutive wins. The Golden Knights can get the Pacific Division title with just a point against the Kraken. Team captain Mark Stone has five goals in the team’s last 10 games.

The Golden Knights have been flummoxed by the Kraken. However, Vegas gets the division with the win.

Prediction: Golden Knights win 5-2.

Best Bets

We close out NHL predictions with some prop bets of the night. Let’s stay with the final of the night for our prop bets. The over/under for the Kraken and the Golden Knights is 6.5, and we like the over in this game.

As for individual props, take Jared McCann to score for Seattle. On the Vegas side of things, take Jack Eichel to get at least a point.
