In the first time these teams faced off in expansion franchise history, The Avalanche frost bit The Kraken by a 7-3 score. Question is, has Seattle shown any progress since, to make us believe the same won’t occur Monday night?
Seattle Kraken
Seattle’s tenure started off shockingly good, however they’ve faltered since, only winning once in their last nine outings.
Offensively, The Kraken are really struggling to get off shots, as they’re only averaging 28.1 per match. Unfortunately, only resulting in 2.8 goals per game, together these rank 30th and 22nd, dreadfully.
Moreover, Seattle’s powerplay unit is ranked a paltry 21st league wide, as they’re only capitalizing18.4% of the time.

Defensively speaking, The Kraken astoundingly counteract their poor offensive shot output, with the third ranked shot defense. Over and above, they’re only allowing 29 shots per tilt.
Unfortunately though, they’re allowing 3.7 goals on those shots, which ranks 30th. Furthermore, Seattle’s crushing shooters and disabling their attempts at the net.
However, their netminders are failing them, as they average a 3.02 GAA, and very poor 0.895 combined.
Colorado Avalanche
The Avalanche are current favorites to win The Stanley Cup, however can they remain healthy and capitalize in the playoffs on route to their first cup since 2000-01?
Offensively speaking, Colorado’s impressively ranked number one for goals, and sixth for shots; by scoring a barrage of goals at 4.3, on 34.5 shots per matchup. On the powerplay, they’re scoring on an elite 24.6% of their opportunities, which in return ranks 7th.
Defensively, The Avalanche are struggling more then expected, as they only rank 21st for goals against and 11th for shots against per game. Unfortunately, together resulting in 3.3 goals on 30.8 shots per outing.
To boot, The Avalanche’s penalty killing squad is ranked a faulty 28th, by allowing teams to score on 26.9% of their powerplays. It appears for a Stanley Cup favorite, this squad definitely has gaping holes in their defense.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Seattle is 0-5 SU in their last 5 games.
- The total has gone OVER in 8 out of Seattle’s last 12 games.
- Colorado is 10-0 SU in their last 10 home games.

Free Seattle Kraken vs. Colorado Avalanche NHL Prediction
Unfortunately, Colorado is an impossible bet on the moneyline at -395, and showing very low value on the puckline at -150. Additionally, it’d be unwise to pick the massive underdog, as Colorado is 8-0 this season as a -200 and above favorite.
That being said, the trends show Seattle cashing the over in 75% of their games in the past 12 played. Also, Colorado is cashing a 80% over rate in their last 5 games.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: OVER 6.5
For these reasons, we’re siding with the over on Monday night. The number one goal offense shouldn’t stutter lighting up the number 30th ranked goal defense, and very poor goaltending.
Furthermore, Seattle’s offensive unit should be able to score a few goals, considering Colorado’s below average goal defense this season.
