Kraken vs Avalanche prediction
Kraken vs Avalanche best bet: Kraken +1.5 (-155)
The Colorado Avalanche have still won plenty of late, but the explosive offense hasn’t been there, with the high-powered Avs scoring three goals or fewer in seven consecutive games.
That trend likely continues against the Seattle Kraken. Nathan MacKinnon hinted key Avalanche players could be watching this one from the seats. With nothing to play for, this sets up as a lower-scoring affair.
While Seattle is limping to the finish line, many players are trying to better position themselves for paydays this summer or bigger roles next season.
Expect the Kraken to put forth a competitive effort and keep this close.
