Command Analysis
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado returned from a break and lost two meetings on the road, without showing good offensive play. Jared Bednar's team quickly corrected the situation and scored six points in three starts after returning home. The hosts currently have 74 scoring points after 62 matches, and they are ready to fight for at least the second position in the division and conference. Gabriel Landeskug's squad started the month with important victories over Minnesota (5:2) and Pittsburgh (4:1), having conceded only four times in the last three games.
The Avalanche have improved in terms of reliability on their half of the ice. The red light outside the gates of the Denver State team has turned on only nine times in the last five matches. Scott Wedgwood returned to action after injury and was quite good in the match against Penguins. The Avalanche's number one remains Mackenzie Blackwood, who transferred from San Jose during this season. The goalkeeper has 92.13% of deflected shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gabriel Landeskug, Josh Manson and Tucker Pullman will not play against the Sharks. Martin Nechas' participation is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Avalanches win only 45.7% of face-offs
- The hosts throw 29 times on average per match
San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
San Jose has long lost its motivation and chances of making the playoffs and is just finishing the season. The Sharks are in last place in the conference table and have only 43 points after 63 games. The team from California can play without pressure and experiment, preparing for the next draw. Mario Ferraro's squad looks good after a break and sensationally beat Toronto (3:2, B) in Canada in early March, and then tore apart Buffalo (6:2) in the suburbs of New York.
At this stage of the season, the Sharks are doing well up front and scoring at least two goals per game for four consecutive games. After Marcus Granlund left for Dallas, William Eklund became the team's top scorer. He scored 46 points (13+33) in the goal+pass system and surpasses the first number of the draft, McLean Celebrini, by one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Logan Couture, Jan Rutta and Henry Troon will not be coming to Denver with the team. Nikolay Kovalenko may be able to play against Colorado.
Interesting betting trends
- San Jose allows you to shoot at your own goal only 32 times per game on average.
- Sharks earn 8.13 minutes of penalty time per duel.
Trends
Bet period 2: total more than 1.5 pucks
In five of the last seven games with the Avalanche, at least two goals were scored in the second period.
1.48Bet 3rd period: Colorado will score
The Sharks conceded in the third period in eight out of nine games.
1.22Tip and bets
Yes, Colorado is a clear favorite for the upcoming showdown, but in our opinion, the hosts are overestimated too much. The Avalanches won all three meetings in the current series of games on home ice, but over the course of the season they often failed defensively and lost to rather weak teams. San Jose is looking very good right now and took two points each from Toronto and Buffalo. The Sharks play without too much pressure and can relax and at least not lose outright in Denver State. Let's play a bet on the sharks' advantage.
Our prediction is that San Jose will win with an Asian handicap (+2.5) in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
The Sharks have looked good offensively since the end of February and have scored at least two goals in the last four games. Colorado was good on defense in March, but Jared Bednar's team is averaging 2.95 goals per season. We think that the team from California will not sit on the defensive and will go from the first seconds. We believe that San Jose will be able to distinguish itself at least twice.
Prediction - San Jose's individual total is more than 1.5 goals in 1.60
Bet on the total
The hosts have the most powerful line of attack, which is capable of throwing a lot into the goal of absolutely any opponent. The Sharks are playing the worst defense this season, but they don't have tournament motivation, so Ryan Warfowski's players can go forward without looking back. We look forward to productive hockey in Denver this Friday and at least six accurate shots for two.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.60
