COL Avalanche vs BOS Bruins Prediction: the Avalanche are having defensive problems

Colorado has huge problems at the start of this season. And their strike zone is working, steadily scoring points. But the rest of the team looks frankly weak. The Avalanche urgently need to change something, and so far they have three losses at the start and not even a single point. First Colorado lost to Vegas 4:8, then they have a 4:6 loss to Columbus, and the day before a 2:6 loss to the Islanders.

At the start of the campaign Boston also leaves a double impression of itself. Overall, the team is doing well, but Florida has already lost twice - 4:6 and 3:4 the day before. In between those games, the Bruins have had two good games - 6:4 with Montreal and 2:1 in overtime with Los Angeles. There's a distinct feeling that the team is missing something, and so far they are clearly not among the top favourites to win the Stanley Cup.

Boston is not perfect in the new season, but even in this condition, they should deal with Colorado. The main problem for the Avalanche is defence, as 20 goals conceded in three games is almost a disgrace. The Bruins have solid offensive performers, and we think Lindholm, Pastrnjak, Marchand and Zacha will score points in this battle. We bet on the visitors' pucks, but we should also consider their final victory.
