Kraken's Key Players


Chandler Stephenson has been a consistent force for the Kraken, despite not finding the back of the net in recent games. His ice time and defensive play have been crucial for Seattle, making him a player to watch. Alongside Stephenson, Eeli Tolvanen emerged as a significant threat in Toronto, scoring once on two shots. His 50 percent shooting accuracy in that game highlights his potential impact against the Avalanche.


On defense, Brandon Montour and Ryker Evans have been workhorses, with Montour attempting five shots in Boston and Evans providing an assist in Toronto. Their contributions on both ends of the ice could be pivotal in Denver.

The Avalanche boast their own set of stars, with Nathan MacKinnon leading the charge. MacKinnon's performance against Nashville was noteworthy; scoring once and assisting another on six shots demonstrates his offensive prowess. Cale Makar also stands out with his goal and assist in Nashville, showcasing his ability to influence the game from the blue line.


Casey Mittelstadt is another Avalanche player who cannot be overlooked. Scoring once on five attempts against Chicago shows he can capitalize on opportunities, making him a critical asset for Colorado.
