Command Analysis

Colorado Avalanche

Current form
Colorado is in the fourth position of the Western Conference and, in general, can be satisfied with its current position. Of course, the team can still try to improve it a little, but it is more important for them to keep this place under their control now, since the density in the playoff zone is very high. Plus, the Avalanches have been experiencing a lot of problems lately and have suffered three defeats in five fights.
They lost to Calgary (2:3 B) on their own ice, after which they dealt with Chicago (3:2 B) and defeated Columbus (7:3), but in the final confrontation on the road they again lost to St. Louis with a score of 4:5. In the match against the Blues, Jared Bednar's squad completely failed the first 30 minutes of the game and only then joined the fight, almost putting the game into overtime, but then it simply did not have enough time for a full-fledged comeback.
We emphasize that throughout the season, the Avalanche are distinguished by their bright offensive play and usually open up the opponents' defenses at least three or four times without any problems. Plus, the club has 24.8% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
Landeskog, Pullman, Nechas and Druen will miss the upcoming match.

Vegas Golden Knights

Current form
Vegas is literally four points ahead of its competitor, but if the situation is favorable for itself, of course, it is obliged to get into the playoffs from this position. Moreover, the team has had great results lately and has often won. Let's remind that she was even able to give out a series of six victories, which, however, was replaced by two defeats in a row, but now she is in great shape again.
So, the knights stumbled in home matches against Edmonton (2:3) and Winnipeg (0:4), but then went on the road, where they proved their superiority over Calgary (3:2 OT), and also beat Vancouver with a score of 3:2. It is noteworthy that in all these matches, the Golden Knights did not score more than two goals, although they usually do not experience performance problems and remain one of the most scoring clubs in their conference.
Bruce Cassidy's team is most powerful in the third segment, in which it has a 103:63 ratio in goals scored and conceded. By the way, not so long ago the club became the best in the league for playing in 5x3 and 5x4 formats and currently has 29.7% of the majority sales.

2.85Tip and bets
We believe that Vegas is capable of claiming two points in this showdown. In this match, it is impossible to give a clear preference to one of the clubs, since they perform at about the same level and have recently shown similar results. However, this season the Knights are a very uncomfortable opponent for the Avalanche and have previously gone undefeated during regular time. Based on this, we think that the guests will bring the matter at least to overtime.
Prediction - Vegas won't lose in 1.72
Betting on an individual total
Vegas is notable for its excellent performance and remains one of the most scoring clubs in its conference. Even on the road, the team scores at least three goals on average. The Avalanches, as you know, do not have a perfect defensive game throughout the season, and they usually miss at least three times against the leaders. By the way, in the last two meetings, the hosts also missed three times.
We bet on an individual Vegas total of more than 2.5 pucks for 1.80
Bet on the total total
Fights between teams often turn out to be spectacular and take place with a large number of goals scored. Vegas plays more open hockey on the road than at home, and Colorado always tries to score as many goals as possible and makes great use of its available resources. Three of the four matches between the clubs also ended with six or more goals scored.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.77
