Seattle vs. Colorado. NHL Match Prediction and Bets

Current form

Seattle quickly recovered from a less than successful start to the season and began to consistently earn points. The team successfully completed the away series, defeating Nashville with a score of 7:3. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since the entire attacking line showed its best side. Goalkeeper Daccord also played confidently in the goal, reflecting 30 shots, which allowed him to avoid problems.

Back on home soil, the Krakens took on Philadelphia and once again showed some very productive hockey, earning their second straight victory with a score of 6:4. This time, the most productive player was forward McCann, who scored a goal and also made two assists.

The team was also able to consolidate its success at home, where, although with difficulty, it still snatched victory from Calgary in overtime (2:1). This time, the match turned out to be very modest, the two clubs made only 45 shots in all three periods, and the desired result was achieved thanks to the reliable play of goalie Dakkord.

Current form

Colorado start to the new season was a complete failure. The team lost four games in a row, all by more than one goal. The Avalanche were unable to put up a worthy fight even against the obvious underdog Columbus, losing 4-6. The main reason for the club poor performance was its terrible defense, averaging only 6.5 goals per game, which is unacceptable even for the NHL.

Still, the Avalanche managed to break the losing streak, playing at home, where they met with a far from serious opponent and snatched victory from Anaheim in overtime (4:3). Colorado should have confidently won in regulation time, as it made 2.5 times more shots on goal, but most of them were ineffective, which allowed the Ducks to tie the score just 15 seconds before the final whistle. Bednar charges earned their first confident victory away from San Jose, where they were finally able to play reliably in defense, which allowed them to win with a score of 4:1. It is worth praising goalie Annunen, who reflected 96% of the shots.

Disqualifications and injuries

It is worth noting that Colorado has very serious problems with its roster. A number of key players are in the infirmary, in particular, it is worth noting the losses in the attacking line in the person of forwards Lehkonen, Landeskog and Drouin. Also, defenseman Teyves will not participate in the upcoming match.

Interesting trends for betting

• On average, Colorado allows 4.8 goals per game.

As we have already noted, Colorado main problem remains their terrible defense.

• The Avalanche are averaging 10.6 penalty minutes per game.

It is also worth paying attention to the club poor discipline, which often allows opponents to score goals.
