Seattle Kraken vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction: Don’t expect a lot of pucks

Prediction for the NHL Seattle Kraken vs Colorado Avalanche match, which will take place on April 25. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Seattle is making its debut in the Stanley Cup. The club played in the NHL for only the second season and failed to make the playoffs in the first regular season. Now they've taken on the reigning champions, Colorado. Already in the 4th minute of the first game of the series, the Krakens scored the first goal in the club history, which was scored by Eeli Tolvanen, and in a couple of hours, they celebrated the first win - 3:1. A day later they suffered a 2:3 defeat. In the third game, they registered their first home goal thanks to the efforts of Jared Schwartz, but their first win on home ice would have to wait, as the day before, they lost to the Avalanche - 4:6.

Colorado is a highly experienced team, and in such early stages of the Stanley Cup, they're unlikely to show their best hockey. It's important to note that they already look significantly more powerful than in the regular season, but they still need to improve. The team sensationally lost 1:3 in their opening game against Seattle, but the Avalanche do not intend to extend their losing streak. Already in the second game, they scored the winning outcome in the third twenty minutes - 3:2, and the day before, they had done the same trick again and scored three goals in the final third of the game, which resulted in a triumph - 6:4.

Seattle began their current cup campaign with their first playoff win in club history, but that was the end of the Krakens' exploits. Colorado won the next two games and now threatens to increase their lead in the standings. Surprisingly, Dave Hakstol's side has been struggling to win home games lately, as they have won just once in their previous five battles at the Climate Plage Arena. That said, the Avalanche have phenomenal away statistics as they have not lost away games in 12 straight games. Now we have to bet on a Colorado win.

The day before, Seattle and Colorado had a brilliant and productive encounter, scoring ten goals together. We can't expect a lot of pucks, as the Krakens and Avalanche have played cautiously and closely before. In their previous six head-to-head encounters, they only combined for 25 goals (4.17 per game average). With this in mind, we would expect a total under 5.5 and suggest betting on Colorado's victory in the third period.
