Colorado Avalanche Betting Preview

The Colorado Avalanche are 5-4-0 this year after they defeated Ottawa by a score of 5-4 in their last game. Colorado led 2-0 heading into the third period, but the teams went back and forth in the final period, scoring a combined seven goals. The Avalanche outshot Ottawa by a total of 33-30, won 44.4% of the face-offs, and went 0-1 on the power play in the game. Colorado got goals from Colton, Kovalenko, MacKinnon, O’Connor, and Manson, while Annunen stopped 26 out of 30 shots in the win. 

Prior to that game, the Avalanche defeated Utah, Seattle, San Jose, and Anaheim. Colorado has scored 3.63 goals per game and they have allowed 4.00 goals against per game, while also going 39.3% on the power play and 69.6% on the penalty kill this season. Cale Makar has led Colorado with three goals, 12 assists, and 21 shots on goal, while Alexandar Georgiev is 1-3-0 with a 4.99 goals-against average and a .810 save percentage this year. 

Chicago Blackhawks Betting Preview

The Chicago Blackhawks are 2-6-1 this season after they lost to Dallas by a score of 4-2 in their last game. Chicago cut the deficit from 3-0 to 3-2 in the third, but couldn’t find the tying goal. The Blackhawks were outshot by a total of 30-24, won 51.9% of the face-offs, and went 0-3 on the power play in the game. Chicago got their two goals from Bedard and Donato, while Mrazek stopped 26 out of 29 shots in the game.

Connor Bedard has led Chicago with three goals, six assists, and 32 shots on goal, while Petr Mrazek is 2-5-0 with a 3.20 goals against average and an .893 save percentage this year. 

Colorado Avalanche vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction 

These two teams come into this matchup trending in different directions, as Colorado is playing very well right now, while Chicago has lost four games in a row. The Blackhawks have been very low-scoring once again this season and will face a Colorado defense that has really turned things around after a rocky start. I know Colorado is on a back-to-back after playing last night, but I like them to win by at least two goals here.
