The Avalanche have been a great road team all season, while the Kraken are just a surprising three games over .500 at home. While all bets should be off in the playoffs, this is a very strong trend. As good as Grubauer has been lately, that hasn't been the norm this season. He is also consistently worse on home ice. Georgiev is steadier, at home or away. The Av's have the star power, the experience and the ability to break out. The Kraken are tough offensively but have been only average on defense this year. I think that the lack of defense and sub-par net-minding will catch up with them tonight. Take the Av's to quiet the first-time playoff crowd in Seattle and steal this one on the road.
