Calgary — Colorado: NHL match forecast
On February 7, a home series of local "lights" will continue in the Canadian province of Alberta. Ryan Husky's team couldn't start with a victory with the support of their home crowd and suffered a major defeat against Toronto, jeopardizing their position among the top eight clubs in the conference. Colorado is just above the opponent, but it can't feel too calm yet. Who gets the important points? This is stated in the forecast for the confrontation
Command Analysis
Calgary Flames
CanadaCurrent form
Calgary remains in eighth place in the West and continues to fight to retain its place in the playoff zone. At the moment, the hosts have 59 points in the piggy bank after 53 matches, while Vancouver, which is behind, has already equaled the hosts in points. The team under the mentorship of Ryan Husky cannot boast of a stable, strong away game, but the Canadians often win at home. The Flames lost to Washington (1-3) and Detroit (1-3) in the last series of games at home, but beat Anaheim (4-1). Before returning home, Mikael Backlund's squad took away two points from Seattle (3:2). The Canadians led 3-6 in the match against Toronto, but they failed in defense and were left without points.
The Lights have been playing erratically offensively for this stretch of the season and have scored 12 goals in the last five matches. In nine out of 11 games, Calgary scored more than twice and never left the court without scoring in 2025. Jonathan Huberdeau consolidated his leadership in the list of the club's top scorers. The Canadian scored 39 points (20+19) and beat Nazem Kadri (18+20) by one point.
Dustin Wolf has appeared regularly on the court in recent matches and seems to have captured the role of the Canadians' first goalkeeper. The goalkeeper has 91.37% of reflected shots, while he made two shutouts in 31 matches. Daniel Vladar looks a little worse and makes only 88.83% of saves, so now he is more often on the bench and only occasionally goes on the ice.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kevin Ball, Connor Zari, Justin Kirkland and Anthony Manta will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Calgary gets 10.04 minutes of penalty time
The "Lights" are removed at least five times per match on average.
- The Flames have 53:61 on goals scored and conceded in the third period.
Calgary concedes more in the third period than in the rest of the segments.
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado has gained a foothold in the playoff zone in the West, but so far the visitors' positions don't look too strong. The Denver State club has earned 64 points in 55 games and is ranked sixth in the conference table. The Avalanches did not show stability in January and even now they are constantly alternating between victories and failures. The guests have only three wins in eight games, while they played a very strong series of matches at home. After matches in New York against the Rangers (5-4) and the Islanders (2-5), Jared Bednar's team won at home against St. Louis (5-0) and Philadelphia (2-0). A new departure began for Gabriel Landeskug's squad with a dry defeat in Vancouver (0:3).
The attack of the guests does not work as before in this segment of the season. Colorado scored 14 accurate shots in the last five games and didn't play their chances too well. Nathan MacKinnon dropped to second place in the list of the league's top scorers, scoring 80 points (20+60). Cale Makar also scored well, scoring 58 goals (19+39).
After Alexander Georgiev was traded to San Jose, Mackenzie Blackwood became the Avalanche's number one. The Canadian goalkeeper scored only three wins in seven starts and blocked 92.56% of shots as part of the new team. It will be very difficult for Scott Wedgwood to oust another Avalanche rookie from the base if he continues to demonstrate reliability.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gabriel Landeskug, Tucker Pullman and Valery Nichushkin will not come to Calgary. Scott Wedgwood's involvement is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Colorado is conceding 3.05 goals per game this season.
The guests are not playing well defensively this season and often miss in large numbers.
- The Avalanche are thrown 29 times per match
Jared Bednar's team doesn't shoot a lot at the opponents' goal, but they mostly play on the other side of the ice.

1.55Tip and bets
Calgary lost in the opening match of the home series, but had a good chance of winning and was in the lead at the start of the match. Ryan Husky's team demonstrates a good level of play in the province of Alberta and it is there that they score most of the points. Colorado is not happy with the stability at this stage of the season and lost five of the previous eight games. The team holds a good shot in Denver, but the Avalanche have not shown a decent level of hockey on the road since the beginning of the calendar year. We think the Flames have a great chance of success. We offer a bet on their victory with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is that Calgary willwinwith an Asian handicap (0) in 2.45
Betting on an individual total
Calgary is a defensive team that spends most of its time in its own zone. Nevertheless, Canadians are much more active with the support of their native stands and often differ in at least three accurate shots in the province of Alberta. The Avalanche were very good at defending at home, but they constantly failed away and lost because of this.
Forecast - Calgary's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.95
Bet on the total
The matches between these rivals last season turned out to be extremely productive, although they usually do not please with their entertainment. Calgary started at home with a shootout with Toronto, so now we can expect a fairly open duel. Colorado concedes a lot on the road, but the Avalanches have an excellent offensive line and regularly score themselves.
Forecast - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.80
