Kraken vs Rangers Odds, Predictions and Best Bets (Feb 10)

• The New York Rangers are -178 home favorites over the Seattle Kraken in an NHL game scheduled for Friday, February 10
• This will be the first action for the Rangers since acquiring forward Vladimir Tarasenko from the St Louis Blues
• On a five-game road trip, Seattle is off to an 0-2 start

The New York Rangers have to be hoping that coming east will go better for Vladimir Tarasenko than it has for the Seattle Kraken. New York acquired the high-scoring Tarasenko on Thursday from the St Louis Blues.

Expectations are that the six-time 30-goal scorer will be making his debut for the Broadway Blueshirts on Friday as they are playing host to the suddenly-struggling Kraken. Two games into a five-game road trip, Seattle is 0-2 and has scored one goal.

It’s the Rangers that oddsmakers are favoring heavily to continue the misery of the Kraken. New York is a -178 home favorite. The Rangers are 2-0-1 all-time in head-to-head meetings with Seattle.

Rangers A Productive Bunch
