Daily NHL Best Bets | Wednesday October 9

St Louis Blues @ Seattle Kraken, 6:40am
Tip: Back the Kraken to Win @ $1.70

The Kraken were one of the toughest teams to score against last year, and I’m banking on that being the case again this season with Joey Daccord likely starting in net.

Daccord was vastly superior to Philip Grubauer last year, while he’s also got a solid preseason sample size under his belt.

After posting a losing record on the road last year, the Kraken look a good bet with some slight value on offer in their home opener.

Boston Bruins @ Florida Panthers
Tip: Back the Bruins to Win @ $2.25

It might worth taking the price available for the Bruins now that Jeremy Swayman has resolved his contract dispute.  

Boston timed their new deal impeccably on Monday, inking Swayman to a lengthy eight-year, $66 million contract to rid themselves of some unneeded distractions heading into Opening Night.  

The task remains the same against the defending champs, a team that really hasn’t lost much in terms of talent.  

Still, goalie Sergie Bobrovsky ownes a goal against average of 3.62 lifetime against teh Bruins to go with a 4-11-4 record overall.
