The Seattle Kraken and Colorado Avalanche face off on Friday in an NHL showdown at the Pepsi Center. When these two teams faced off in April, it was Seattle that secured the 3-2 victory. 

Seattle comes into this game with a 1-2-2 record overall to start the season, and they are coming off a loss in the last game against the St. Louis Blues. At the end of the first period, the Kraken were down 3-1. They ended up fighting back and forcing overtime, but they lost 4-3 in overtime. Ryan Donato finished with five shots on goal and one assist. Seattle overall this season is averaging 2.8 goals per game, while their defense is giving up 4.0 goals per game. The offense and defense are both ranked 24th in the league. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Colorado Avalanche, who sit with a 2-1-1 record, but they are coming off a loss in their last game. They fell behind 2-0 early against the Winnipeg Jets, and although they were able to come back, they lost in overtime. Mikko Rantanen finished with two goals and one assist. The Avs are averaging 4.25 goals per game, while their defense is giving up 3.5 goals per game. This is a team that can score, but as the season goes on they need to have better defense. In goal for the Avs will be Alexander Georgiev, and he sits with a 2-0-1 record and is giving up 3.00 goals per game. 

The Avalanche are 60-15 in their last 75 home games. The over is 4-0 in the Avalanche’s last four games. The over is 4-1-1 in Seattle’s last six games. The over is 4-1-1 in the Kraken last six games overall. In the over is 4-1 in the Avs last five home games.

There will be plenty of goals scored here and the trend of over is going to continue. The Avs are averaging 4.25 goals per game, but their defense has struggled and Seattle will run up the score against him here. Look for a 5-3 or 5-4 type of game, and this game is going to go over the total. Back the over.
