Kraken vs. Avalanche Prediction

I’m going to side with the Kraken here. The Avalanche are the stronger team from a talent perspective, but the goaltending continues to be suspect at best. Seattle’s actually won 6 of their last 7 trips into Colorado, and I just don’t feel like backing the Avalanche at this price. Give me the Kraken and the plus money.
