Seattle vs Colorado Stats

Seattle Kraken

The Seattle Kraken are facing a tough stretch of games after three consecutive losses, including two scoreless performances. They have struggled offensively lately, averaging 2.14 goals per game in their last seven matches. Despite solid goaltending, their lack of shots on goal (averaging 26.85 per game) has contributed to their offensive woes. Joey Daccord is expected to start in net for their upcoming game, boasting a 4-3-1 record this season. The Kraken are currently ranked 24th in the league and have a 5-7-1 record, with a strong offense (16th in the league) but a weaker defense (12th in the league).

Colorado Avalanche Analysis

The Colorado Avalanche are returning home after their recent loss to the Nashville Predators, marking their third consecutive loss with a final score of 5-2. Despite facing injuries to key forwards such as Gabriel Landeskog and Ross Colton, who leads the team in goals this season, the Avalanche have struggled to find offense. This is reflected in their ranking of 12th in offense, scoring an average of 3.33 goals per game, but ranking last in the league in goals allowed. Alexandar Georgiev is expected to start in goal against the Kraken, with a challenging season record of 1-4-0. The Avalanche currently have a power ranking of 15 and a 5-7 overall record, while Seattle has had recent success against them with a 2-1-0 record in their last three matchups.

Seattle Kraken Poised to Capitalize on Colorado Avalanche's Home Struggles

The Seattle Kraken have demonstrated a strong track record with a 6-2-0 record in their last eight road games against the Avalanche. Conversely, the Colorado Avalanche have struggled as favorites at home this season with a 2-4-0 record. Seattle is poised to capitalize on Colorado's goaltending weaknesses, potentially helping them overcome recent scoring challenges. On the other hand, Colorado is at a disadvantage after losing their top goalscorer and facing a team with solid goaltending abilities. Given these factors, the matchup appears unfavorable for Colorado. As a result, I am recommending placing a bet on the Seattle Kraken to win on the moneyline.
