The Colorado Avalanche (2-4-0) take on the Seattle Kraken (4-2-0) looking to extend their winning streak to three games. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MT.

Colorado turned to Justus Annunen against the San Jose Sharks, and the backup goalie came up big. The Avs scored the first two goals and didn't relinquish the lead until the end. They led 2-1 for most of the game and relied on Annunen to keep them ahead. San Jose defeated Colorado 16-6 during a 30-minute stretch that began at the end of the first period and included several power plays in the second period. The Avs' PK, which had struggled all season, failed in this phase due to a 5-on-3 system.
