The current betting odds have the Avalanche listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Avalanche are off to an 8-5-0 start this season which is really good as they are in 2nd place of their division. They are coming off a bad loss in their last game though as they lost 8-2 to the Blues on home ice. The Kraken have been struggling more this season with their 5-7-3 record overall. They are also coming off a loss on home ice to the Oilers who have been terrible this season. The Kraken lost that game 4-1 at home but they have already been struggling out of the gate this season while Colorado is a really good team coming off an embarrassing home loss and they will be looking to right the ship here with a win as they are the better team. The Avalanche need to respond with a win in this game after the way they lost in their last game, considering the talent they have on their team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Avalanche to win this game.

“There’s no other explanation for it. Poor execution and guys giving up all over the ice. How many breakaways did they have in the the third period? Three. Two of them end up in the back of our net.” - Jared Bednar after his team’s loss against the Blues in their game on Saturday.

“We weren’t desperate enough. We knew that they’re hungry for wins and we came out flat. We’ve done it a few times at home now. Unacceptable. We’ve got to be way more aggressive, way more assertive and get to our game right away. We were too much standing around and watching. It just all around wasn’t good enough.” - Jaden Schwartz after their loss against the Oilers in their game on Saturday.
