Avs Defense Suddenly Struggling
The Avalanche’s defense is suddenly struggling, and they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago against the Chicago Blackhawks, they ended up losing 5-2 and in the last game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, they lost 5-2. At the end of the first quarter against the Lightning, they were down 3-1, and for the rest of the game, the offense didn’t bounce back and they ended up losing. Kappo Kahkonen started in goal, and he saved 16 of the 20 shots that he faced.
The Avalanche are averaging 3.46 goals, while their defense is giving up 4.18 goals per game. The offense is ranked 11th in the league, while the defense is ranked 31st in the NHL. The defense has to be better.
Predators Have Lost Two Straight
The Predators have lost two straight games, and especially in the last game, they looked awful. They gave up five goals to an Edmonton Oilers team that didn’t have Connor McDavid, and the offense only managed one goal. Juuse Saros started in goal, and he saved 244 of the 29 shots that he faced. Two games ago, they lost 3-2, and they need to work on getting the offense out to a fast start here. The Predators are averaging 2.4 goals, while their defense is giving up 3.66 goals per game. Filip Forsberg is having a strong season, he has scored five goals and added four assists so far this season. The Predators will take on the Kings, Capitals, and Panthers after this game.

The Avalanche’s defense hasn’t been good, but they are going to step up in this game, and that is going to be the difference here, as the Avalanche are going to come out on top. Back the Avs on the money line.
