The Seattle Kraken will host the juggernaut Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night. These teams are on a collision course to meet in the first round of the playoffs if the Kraken can manage to hang onto the final wild card spot. The Avalanche will be looking to make a statement in this game. The Avalanche are both the best offensive and defensive team in the league, while averaging an impressive 3.78 goals for per game and only 2.44 against. The Kraken are a very weak offensive team, averaging only 2.83 goals per game. It will be difficult for them to keep up with the potent offense of the Avalanche.

The Kraken are coming into this game riding a 3-game losing streak, and welcoming Nathan MacKinnon and the Avalanche to town is not exactly what you want to see while on a losing streak. MacKinnon is up to 104 points on the season and is showing no signs of slowing down. The Avalanche should dominate this game. Give me them on the puck line.

Avalanche vs. Kraken best bet: Colorado Avalanche -1.5 (+125) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
