Alexandar Georgiev vs. Philipp Grubauer
In tonight’s high-stakes NHL showdown, we’ve got a thrilling goaltender battle on our hands: Alexandar Georgiev versus Philipp Grubauer. Georgiev enters this game coming off a nail-biting 4-3 overtime victory against the Ducks, where he turned aside 17 of 20 shots. He’s had a rough stretch recently, allowing 20 goals over five games with a 1-3-0 record.
While he’s still the team’s top netminder, there’s a sense that he needs to find his rhythm soon—otherwise, backup contenders Justus Annunen and Kaapo Kahkonen might start knocking on the door.
On the other side of the ice, Grubauer is looking to build on a solid 6-4 win over the Flyers, where he stopped 21 of 25 shots. It wasn’t perfect, but it got the job done thanks to some much-needed goal support.
Across his three starts this season, Grubauer has faced 73 shots, giving up nine goals, and the Kraken have been alternating between him and Daccord.
Last season, Grubauer posted a 14-16-2 record, recording two shutouts, a 2.85 GAA, and a .899 save percentage across 36 games.
As these two go head-to-head tonight, both have something to prove. Will Georgiev rise to the occasion and solidify his spot, or can Grubauer build on his recent momentum?
The Avalanche held the advantage in the head-to-head series between the two teams, posting a 2-1-0 record. When examining the puck line, the Avalanche had a 2-1 record.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Kraken +1.5
When making a moneyline pick, my choice is the Avalanche to come out with a win against the Kraken while playing on the road. Considering the moneyline odds at -120, I’m placing my bet on the Avalanche to win outright.
My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Kraken to cover. Even if the Avalanche win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Kraken should cover the puck line.
For those looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
