Avalanche vs Kraken predictions

As the Colorado Avalanche gear up to take on the Seattle Kraken, all eyes are likely on Cale Makar. After racking up an impressive 10 assists and a total of 12 points early in this season, he's proving to be a formidable force on the ice. Then there’s Ross Colton, who’s netted six goals already. With these two leading the charge, the Avalanche have some serious firepower, and it wouldn't be surprising to see them both continuing to add to their tallies, especially against a team like the Kraken who can sometimes leave gaps in their defense.

On the flip side, the Seattle Kraken have their own set of aces. Jordan Eberle, with five goals to his name, stands out as the go-to goal scorer for the team. However, there's a bit of concern around Jared McCann, who’s been pivotal for the Kraken with five assists and eight points but is currently listed as day-to-day due to an injury. His potential absence could shake things up, creating even more reliance on Eberle and possibly pushing other players to step up their game.

Looking at the trends and the performances of key players, this matchup promises to be a closely fought battle. But considering the Avalanche's slightly underwhelming start to the season and the Kraken's solid performances at home, it feels like Seattle might just have the extra edge to continue their winning streak. Of course, much depends on McCann’s availability and whether Makar and Colton can break through the Kraken's defenses. Who do you think will come out on top?
