Game Preview

The dominant Colorado Avalanche will be back on the road in the NHL on Tuesday, as they chase a third straight win. Colorado currently sit four points clear at the top of the Central Division, and they have registered an impressive seven wins in their last ten. Over the same period, no team in the Western Conference have picked up more victories.

The Avalanche continued their dominant form over the weekend, as they beat the Nashville Predators 4-2 at Ball Arena. On the road, they have also been incredibly impressive, going 10-2-5. Nathan MacKinnon has been a standout star this season, leading the team with 55 points.

There will be questions to answer for the home team this week, as the Seattle Kraken look to snap a two-game losing run. Seattle have found wins hard to come by in their last ten, picking up just two victories, and suffered seven losses in regulation time.

The Kraken were last in action earlier this week losing 3-1 at the Climate Pledge Arena against the Buffalo Sabres. Chandler Stephenson scored their only goal in the loss. The defeat means that they have now dropped to 7-6-3 in home games this season.

Avalanche vs. Kraken Picks

Based on the form available, it is very challenging to overlook the prospect of a road win for the in-form Avalanche on Tuesday. Their dominant offensive record could also see them cover the spread against a struggling Kraken.
