Kraken Betting Preview

The Kraken comes into this game with a 46-28-8 record overall but they struggled to close out the regular season. In the last game against the Vegas Golden Knights the offense only managed one goal and that led to the two goal defeat. Two games ago against the Golden Knights the Kraken were defeated 4-1. The Kraken have scored 289 goals while their defense has given up 256 goals. The offense is ranked 6th while the defense is ranked 15th. In this game the defense is going to need to step up. Jared McCann has scored 40 goals and added 38 assists.

The Avalanche come into this game with a record with a 51-24-7 record overall and two close out the regular season they won two games in a row. In the last game against the Nashville Predators the Avs scored four goals and that was enough for the victory. Nathan MacKinnon finished with three goals and one assist.

Shane’s Free Pick

The Avalanche’s offense is ranked 12th in the league but I expect they are going to find plenty of success against the Kraken defense. The Kraken’s offense has also been good overall this season and they are currently ranked 6th best in the league. I expect the Avalanche and Kraken are both going to run up the score, and this game is going to be a shootout. Back the over to cash here.
