Anaheim Ducks vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction: the Avalanche is not feeling any pressure

Prediction for the NHL Anaheim Ducks vs Colorado Avalanche match will occur on December 21. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Greg Cronin's men have played excellent hockey in their last two encounters. A 4:3 overtime win over Columbus snapped a losing streak, and then the Ducks sensationally defeated Winnipeg, who incidentally lead the Western Conference. The Ducks moved up to 13th place in the standings with 28 points.

Coach Jared Bednar is trying to balance attack and defense, but he hasn't succeeded. In their last five matches, Colorado has alternated wins and losses. They beat Pittsburgh, Nashville, and San Jose but lost to Utah and Vancouver. According to this pattern, the next match will be a blowout loss. It is also worth noting that the Avalanche's position in the Western standings has improved due to their recent success. They climbed to eighth place, one point ahead of Calgary.

The bookmakers are tipping Colorado to win, and we fully agree. Despite playing their second game in 24 hours against Anaheim, the Denver club has plenty to play for. After all, their first opponent in this back-to-back was humble San Jose, with whom they had no problems. What's more, the Avalanche is not feeling any pressure from the crowd, as evidenced by their four wins in their last five matches.
