Colorado Avalanche vs Nashville Predators Prediction: Will the Predators be able to break their losing streak?

Prediction for the NHL Colorado Avalanche vs Nashville Predators match, which will take place on December 18. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Avalanche are waiting for Valeriy Nichushkin to return to the ice. However, they still cannot count on several key players due to injuries - Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, Bowen Byram, and Darren Helm. Due to roster issues, Colorado's play has been very unbalanced. So on the eve of the meeting with Nashville, the team lost to one of the main outsiders of the season Buffalo (2:4). Colorado has five losses in its last seven games. The reigning champion currently ranks only eighth in the Western Conference standings.

The Predators had some bright, winning games but met on the road with Tampa Bay. And after losing with a score of 2:5, the team lost four more games - to Ottawa, St. Louis, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. It was the loss to the Lightning and the realization that the Predators could not compete with the strongest in the current format. Nashville is out of the playoff zone in the Western Conference standings, only in 12th place.

Colorado is in serious trouble without Nathan MacKinnon - the Avalanche have had just three wins in their last nine games, and only two of them in regulation time. So Nashville has a great chance to break their losing streak. Before the loss to Tampa Bay, the Avalanche had seven wins in nine games, and since the defeat, the Lightning has lost only twice in regulation time in four games.
