Kraken vs Avalanche Prediction

To those searching for a pure moneyline wager, the Avalanche is the clear pick. Still, with a payout of -190, it’s worth thinking about including this bet in a parlay.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Kraken to cover. Even in the event of a Avalanche victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Kraken should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
