Colorado vs Seattle Stats

Colorado Avalanche

The Colorado Avalanche secured a crucial win against the San Jose Sharks, with a final score of 4-1, before heading to Seattle for their next game. This win marked only their second victory of the season and was significant as it was the first game where they allowed fewer than three goals. Despite their offensive prowess, the Avalanche have struggled with goaltending, particularly with Alexandar Georgiev who has a save percentage of .811%. Despite his poor performance, Georgiev is expected to start in their upcoming game. The Avalanche currently have a power ranking of 11, ranking 13th in offense and last in defense, with a record of 2-4 for the season.

Seattle Kraken Analysis

The Seattle Kraken are currently on a three-game winning streak, with their most recent victory being a 2-1 win against the Calgary Flames. They are in the midst of a successful five-game home stand with a 2-0 record so far. Seattle's strong offensive performance will be key as they face the struggling Colorado goaltending in their upcoming matchup. Despite some challenges with special teams, such as a low powerplay and penalty kill percentage, the Kraken have managed to secure four wins and are performing well in various aspects of their game this season. Goaltender Philipp Grubauer is expected to start against the Avalanche, with a positive track record so far this season. The Seattle Kraken currently have a power ranking of 20 and are ranked 7th for offense, averaging 3.67 goals per game and 12th for defense, allowing 2.83 points per game. In their last three matchups, the Colorado Avalanche went 1-2-0 against the Kraken. Overall, with strong goaltending and consistent performance, the Kraken are positioning themselves well for a potential post-season opportunity.

Seattle Kraken Face Uphill Battle Against Avalanche: Betting on Colorado for Victory

The Seattle Kraken have traditionally struggled against the Avalanche with a 2-5-1 record in their last 10 home games. Alexandar Georgiev has displayed strong performance against the Kraken, boasting a 2-0-1 record, a 1.66 goals against average, and a .946 save percentage over the course of his career. This matchup presents an opportunity for Georgiev to regain his form after a challenging start to the season. With the Avalanche possessing the second-best powerplay in the league and facing a struggling Seattle penalty kill, it is anticipated that the offense will deliver a strong performance. Accordingly, a favorable outcome is expected for Colorado in this game. Therefore, I am recommending betting on the Avalanche to secure a decisive victory in this contest.
