This is a 10* TOP FRIDAY TOTAL on the UNDER Avs/Kracken.

NHL totals are starting to creep higher and higher these days.

Both of these teams have played to many high-scoring affairs of late, but I think the value has now finally swung the other way as far as the total is concerned.

Colorado has seen the total go OVER in five straight, including in its 4-2 win at Vancouver, while Seattle has see the total go OVER in seven straight.

Seattle doesn't look like the Golden Knights did in their first year. That said, they still have a World Class goaltender in Philip Grubauer.

Darcy Kuemper’s made the bulk of the Avs starts in goal, going 7-4 with a 2.56 GAA and a .916 save percentage this season and I expect him and his counterpart to take center stage tonight.

I don't expect a wide-open affair from the Avs, instead I expect them to sit back and wait for the Kracken to make the first mistake.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
