Instead, bypassing the moneyline and diving into the game total and player prop markets offers a much sharper leverage piece for this late-season affair.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these teams have been absolute magnets for the over lately, making Over 6.5 goals my strongest play on the board.<\/p>\n<p>The over has hit in each of the last five Kraken games as an underdog and it is 4-1 over their last five games overall. The Golden Knights have been consistently finding the back of the net for plenty of markers in their own building. The over has hit in four of the Golden Knights\u2019 last five games at T-Mobile Arena, as well as four of their last five on friendly confines as a favorite. <\/p>\n<p>Kraken vs Golden Knights Game Odds<\/p>\n<p>Odds as of 4:24 PM ET on April 15.
