**Denver, CO** – The Colorado Avalanche are set to face off against the Seattle Kraken for the second time this season on Tuesday night at Ball Arena. The Avalanche are coming off a 5-2 loss to the Nashville Predators, while the Kraken lost 2-0 to the Boston Bruins on Sunday.

The Avalanche are looking to win the season series against the Kraken after defeating them 3-2 in Seattle on October 22nd. This game marks the second of three meetings between the teams this season, with their final matchup scheduled for December 22nd at Ball Arena.

Despite the loss in Nashville, the Avalanche have a strong offensive core. Cale Makar is tied for the league lead in points with 21, and Nathan MacKinnon is tied for fourth with 20 points. MacKinnon is one game away from tying his career-best 13-game season-opening point streak. Makar has also extended his season-opening point streak to 12 games, a new career high.

The Kraken, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from their loss to the Bruins. Jared McCann leads the team in points with 14, while Jordan Eberle leads with 6 goals.

The Avalanche boast a powerful power play, ranked second in the league with a 34.2% success rate. Makar and MacKinnon are tied for the league lead in power-play points with 10 each.
