Kraken-Avalanche live stream: Start time, TV channel, how to watch Game 1 in 2023 NHL playoffs

ESPN will host Tuesday's matchup between the Seattle Kraken and Colorado Avalanche in the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The puck is set to drop at 10 p.m. ET at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.

The Avalanche begin their title defense with Game 1 on Tuesday night at home. This is not nearly the same team as last season. There's no Nazem Kadri or Darcy Kuemper in net. Gabriel Landeskog is out for the season. Cale Makar, Josh Manson and Andrew Cogliano are banged up to start this series. Makar is good to go but Manson has no timetable for a return. So the Avs will need goalie Alexandar Georgiev to step up as well as the top forward group of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Artturi Lehkonen and Valeri Nichushkin.
