The Avalanche have played some sloppy hockey of late, but the return of Cale Makar should ensure that their blueline is ready for the challenge the Kraken present. Makar can also provide some offensive fireworks, as JLazzy23's picks explain.
The Colorado Avalanche have put together a very strong stretch of games, going 7-2-1 in their last 10 overall. The Kraken have been strong too, going 6-3-1 in the same span, but this game will also be their third game in four nights, all of these being road tilts as well.
Alexandar Georgiev is most likely getting the nod in goal for Colorado, and he has had a fantastic season. He enters this contest boasting a 26-13-4 record with a .919 SV% and a 2.66 GAA. He may have allowed five goals on 19 shots in his last start, but that was very out of character. Prior to the last game, he had won each of his five previous starts, so I expect him to produce a strong bounce-back effort tonight.
The Kraken have not gotten strong goaltending all season. Philipp Grubauer comes into this game with a .895 SV%, and Martin Jones hasn’t been much better, playing to a .890 SV% himself. The Avalanche's group of forwards should be able to expose the weak goaltending of Seattle. I love the Avalanche to win.
