Command Analysis
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado is in seventh place in the Western Conference and has earned 24 points in total. Not long ago, the team was outside the playoff zone, but still managed to improve its game and began to look much stronger than at the start of the season. It does without losing streaks and is limited to one defeat, after which it achieves several victories in a row. Not long ago, the Avalanche even had a series of three victories on the road, defeating Philadelphia (3:2), then dealing with Washington (2:1) and Florida (7:4) in turn. However, in the last confrontation with Tampa, the Avalanche game did not go well at all, and they suffered a real rout with a score of 2:8.
This happens to them from time to time. As a rule, if Jared Bednar team loses, it does so by a few goals and in a productive manner. By the way, at the moment the club is one of the most scoring in its conference and often scores three or four goals on its home ice. It is also surprising that three Colorado hockey players are among the top ten scorers in the championship - Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. Each of them scored at least 30 points in the goal + pass system.
The team also continues to perform well in 5x4 and 5x3 formats and ranks third in the league in this indicator, currently achieving 29% of power plays.
Disqualifications and injuries
Colton, Landeskog and Drouin will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting

The Avalanche are having a great second period and often take it over
- Colorado wins 43.6% of faceoffs
The Avalanche are weak at the point and have one of the worst faceoff records in the league.
Vegas Golden Knights
USACurrent form
Vegas is one of the top three teams in the Western Conference and has 30 points. The team has shown great results at home since the start of the season, but was completely unable to get it together on the road and was losing match after match. However, recently, on the contrary, it has begun to earn points away much more often. At the moment, it is in excellent shape and has developed a series of up to three victories. Earlier, the Knights were able to deal with Ottawa (3:2), Montreal (6:2) on the road, and also proved their superiority over Philadelphia in a tough fight with a score of 5:4 in a shootout.
The Golden Knights also love to play on the opposite courses, so they are not afraid to miss an extra puck, because they are great at using their moments and have a powerful attack line. Bruce Cassidy charges usually score no less than four goals per match, and also play incredibly in the final twenty minutes. Let us recall that in the third game period they have a ratio of 34:19 in goals scored and goals conceded.
Vegas is also slightly better than its opponents in the power play, with a 30.9% power play percentage. Jack Eichel is also having a fantastic season, with 34 goals and assists, and is fourth in the scoring race. Of course, the team is missing Mark Stone, as he was one of the best statistically, but was out due to injury.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hatton, Stone, Olofsson, Lehner, Pietrangelo and Whitecloud will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- According to statistics, Vegas takes at least 30 shots per game
The Knights spend a lot of time in the opponent zone and try to make a shot at every opportunity.
- Vegas gets 5.68 penalty minutes
The Golden Knights remain one of the most disciplined teams in the league.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total over 1.5 goals
In the three previous matches between the clubs, the first period was productive
1.77Bet 3rd period: away team win
In four out of five games against Vegas, the visitors achieved victory in the third period
2.95Tip and bets
In our opinion, Vegas cannot be considered an outsider in this confrontation, even taking into account that it is playing away. The Knights, on the contrary, have improved a lot on the road and have begun to achieve victory after victory on foreign courts. Plus, the visitors often ended previous meetings with Colorado in their favor and achieved success in regular time. Colorado is very unstable even at home, and literally the day before they lost to Tampa with a rout, so it is far from a fact that they have managed to recover from such a defeat. Based on this, we suggest betting on the victory of the Knights for an excellent coefficient.
Prediction - Vegas win for 3.05
Bet on individual total
Vegas plays great in attack and is one of the most productive clubs in the league at the moment. The team usually scores at least three or four goals, even when playing away. Colorado, on the other hand, counts on open hockey, so it often allows its opponent to score three times. In three previous matches out of five, the Avalanche also conceded at least three times. Based on this, it makes sense to bet on the individual total of the guests.
We take the individual total of Vegas over 2.5 goals for 1.72
Total Bet
Matches between the clubs are often spectacular and have at least six goals scored. Most of the recent matches have been like that. It is quite possible that the clubs will decide to play on opposite courses this time and will act without a middle zone. Both Colorado and Vegas have a powerful attack line and make great use of their moments, so we suggest betting on the total over.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.50
