Colorado Avalanche vs. Seattle Kraken Predictions

The Colorado Avalanche, currently fifth in the Western Conference, are looking to snap a two-game losing streak as they visit the Seattle Kraken, who sit tenth in the conference. The Avalanche, led by star right winger Mikko Rantanen with 9 goals and 19 points, are hoping to capitalize on their offensive strengths, ranking high in the league for goals scored. However, their recent performances have been marred by defensive lapses, which they’ll need to shore up against a Kraken team that has shown flashes of offensive brilliance, particularly from center Jaden Schwartz who leads the team with 8 goals and 14 points.

Defensively, the Avalanche boast the talents of defenseman Cale Makar, who has contributed 13 assists this season, but they’ll be tested by a Kraken squad that has been working to find consistency on both ends of the ice. The Kraken’s defense, which has struggled at times, will need to step up to contain the Avalanche’s potent attack. Both teams have had their struggles with consistency this season, making this game a critical opportunity to gain some much-needed momentum as they approach the middle of the season.

Key player matchups to watch include the Kraken’s Schwartz against the Avalanche’s Rantanen, both of whom are pivotal to their respective teams’ scoring. Additionally, the goaltending battle could be a deciding factor, with the Avalanche’s recent goaltending woes potentially giving the Kraken an edge if they can exploit this vulnerability. With both teams eager to improve their standings and build on their recent performances, this game is set to be a tightly contested affair with significant implications for the playoff race.

Colorado Avalanche vs. Seattle Kraken Pick

The Seattle Kraken moneyline bet presents a compelling choice for this matchup. Despite their lower standing in the conference, the Kraken have historically held the upper hand against the Avalanche, winning 7 out of the 12 games in the past two seasons. Moreover, the Kraken have been the more reliable team against the spread, covering it in 9 of those games. The most recent encounter between the two teams resulted in a Kraken victory, with key players like Jaden Schwartz and Oliver Bjorkstrand stepping up to secure the win. Given the Avalanche’s current two-game losing streak and defensive challenges, the Kraken’s offensive capabilities, led by Schwartz, could very well exploit these weaknesses. Additionally, the Kraken’s home advantage at Climate Pledge Arena could play a significant role, as the home team has been the less dominant force in this matchup, suggesting a potential shift in this trend.

While the Avalanche’s offensive prowess cannot be overlooked, with Mikko Rantanen leading their charge, the Kraken’s recent performance and the betting trends suggest they have the edge. The Avalanche’s goaltending issues could be a critical factor, and if the Kraken can capitalize on this, they stand a good chance of coming out on top. Considering the favorable moneyline odds for the Kraken and their historical success against the Avalanche, betting on the Kraken’s moneyline is a calculated risk worth taking. The game’s outcome will likely hinge on the Kraken’s ability to maintain their offensive momentum and exploit the Avalanche’s recent form, making the home side an attractive pick for this encounter.

The Pick: Seattle Kraken +130 (FanDuel)
