Colorado vs Ottawa Prediction: the Champ Has a Chance to Earn Points

Prediction for the NHL Colorado Avalanche vs Ottawa Senators match, which will take place on January 15th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The reigning NHL champion has yet to live up to their status lately. In the past eight games, Colorado defeated Edmonton (3-2 in OT) and suffered seven losses. Because of this losing streak, the Avalanche dropped out of the top 10 of the Western Conference with 43 points. It will also be highly ironic if the Avalanche doesn't make the playoffs. They are only sixth in the Central Division standings, seven points behind third Minnesota.

Ottawa has played some pretty good hockey in the last five games. The Senators have claimed three wins over equally ranked teams - 3-1 over Buffalo, 4-0 over Columbus, and 5-3 over Arizona. The Senators also encountered two losses, 4-8 over Seattle and 0-3 over Nashville. Ottawa added six points and moved to 13th place in the East standings.

• Ottawa is averaging 3.17 goals per game.
• Ottawa has won three of their last five games.

Despite Colorado's poor performance, we are more inclined to see them win. The team had an excellent opportunity to earn points in a home match against an outsider. Ottawa's away results do not spark joy at all - in 19 games, they have suffered 11 defeats. With this in mind, we suggest betting on a win for the first team.
