Command Analysis

Anaheim Ducks

Current form
Anaheim has not been able to compete for the playoffs this season. The team spent this year exactly the same as the previous one. At the moment, she is in the 12th position of the Western Conference and has 78 points in her asset, so she cannot improve her position in the standings in any way. From time to time, the club shows its best side and pleases the fans with victories, but it is not able to get out for a long successful streak.
Recall that after the defeat from Vancouver (2:6), the Ducks played great on their ice against Edmonton (3:2) and Calgary (4:3 OT), but in the final away match with Los Angeles they again lost heavily with a score of 1:6. In that match with the Kings, Greg Cronin's team failed in the second twenty minutes, during which they missed three times and could not fully return to the game.
At the same time, in matches with opponents in the playoff zone, the team, as a rule, shows a mediocre defensive game and concedes at least four goals. In addition, she uses her moments mediocre and even has only 12% of the majority, taking the last place in the league by this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fabbri, McGinn, Johnston and Suhanek will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Anaheim has a 62-67 record on goals scored and conceded in the second period.
- Ducks perform 22 power moves

Colorado Avalanche

Current form
Colorado is currently in the fifth position of the Western Conference and also claims the fourth position of the standings, from which it is separated by literally one point. However, the team is now far from its optimal form and has been losing a lot lately. So, in three of the previous four meetings, she remained without scoring points.
Note that the Avalanches lost to St. Louis on the road (4:5), then they barely defeated Vegas at home (3:2B), and after a home defeat from Vancouver (1:4) they went to visit the kings, to whom they lost with a score of 4:5. In the confrontation with the Kings Avalanche, they again played very mediocre defense and allowed the opponent too much throughout the entire 60 minutes, for which they paid with five missed goals.
The situation is also complicated by the fact that Colorado is now forced to play without its offensive line leader, Nathan McKinnon, who will miss at least the next meeting. Nevertheless, it is worth mentioning that Jared Bednar's team is playing absolutely no worse on foreign venues this season than on their own ice, and has been successful in exactly half of the matches in regular time.
Disqualifications and injuries
McKinnon, Drouin, Manson, Lindgren, Colton, Pullman and Wood will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Colorado gets an average of 6.59 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, the Avalanches perform 18 power moves per match.
Trends

1.85The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the guests
In four out of five meetings against Anaheim, the guests achieved victory in the second segment.
2.65Tip and bets
Colorado is superior to its opponent in class, and even despite the loss of Nathan McKinnon, it should reserve the upcoming match for itself in order to take a short break before the start of the playoffs in a good mood. Moreover, past fights between the clubs, as a rule, ended in favor of the avalanche. We think that they can still deal with one of the outsiders of the West.
Prediction - Colorado wins with a handicap (0) in 1.90
Betting on an individual total
Even without McKinnon, Colorado continues to show excellent performance. Even in the match against Los Angeles, which plays great defense, the Avalanches were able to score four goals. Anaheim usually concedes at least three or four goals in matches with opponents in the playoff zone. By the way, in the last match, the Ducks conceded against the Kings six times.
We're betting on Colorado's individual total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.67
Bet on the total total
We're going to expect a lot of dropped goals in this match. The last matches between the clubs were productive and took place with six goals scored. Colorado is constantly counting on outdoor hockey and is used to scoring a lot on the road. The previous three out of four duels with dax were also spectacular, so it makes sense to put more on the total.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.82
