LiontipsColorado vs Seattle. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 22, 2022).
Command Analysis
Colorado are a bit inconsistent at the start of the season. Jared Bednar's men score a lot in every game, but they are unreliable on defense. They had the same style in the regular season last year, but nevertheless managed t win the Stanley Cup, so it is too early to say they have a problem.
In the last two games, the Avalanche beat Minnesota (6:3) away but lost to Winnipeg (3:4 OT) at home. Valeri Nichushkin is having a good season so far - he has five goals and three assists to his name.
Seattle played five games in the new season and lost four of them. For example, Dave Hakstol's men suffered defeats to Vegas (2:5), Carolina (1:5), and St. Louis (3:4 ОТ) at home. The Kraken concede an average of four goals per game.
Seattle might become the main outsiders in the West again, but they also have room for improvement - there are many new players in the squad, and the Kraken will need some time to find their team form.
