Seattle is 11-4 in their last 15 road games and 7-3 in their last 10 games against the Central division while the under is 8-1 in their last 9 games overall. Colorado is 40-17 in their last 57 games against the Pacific division and 35-16 in their last 51 games overall while the under is 4-0-1 in their last 5 home games.
Pick
I’m backing the Kraken here. Seattle’s best hockey in this series has been played on the road and while the Avs have the experience and the momentum in a game like this, I think there’s too much value in what’s likely a close game that could potentially need OT. The Kraken have been there nip and tuck every step of the way with the Avalanche and I think the kraken shock the world here. Give me Seattle.
