Detroit Red Wings vs Colorado Avalanche: The Avalanche will be stronger than the Red Wings

Prediction for the NHL Detroit Red Wings vs Colorado Avalanche match, which will take place on February 24. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Detroit is looking pretty good lately, with three wins in four games. They beat Philadelphia twice (6:3 and 4:2), then lost 4:7 to Minnesota, and in the last meeting, they beat the Rangers in a penalty shot (3:2). Detroit continues their chase for the playoff spot in the Atlantic Division standings. Currently, the fifth-ranked Red Wings have 52 points, while fourth-ranked Boston has ten more.

Colorado still leads the Central Division standings with 76 points. They are 11 points ahead of second-placed Minnesota but have also played three more games. After a 1:4 loss to Dallas, Colorado defeated Vegas (2:0) and Buffalo (5:3) and then had a very poor game against Boston (1:5).

The bookmakers see Colorado as the favourite, and we agree with them. The Red Wings are a higher class than the Avalanche, and their goals are very different. In the last seven head-to-head encounters, the visitors have been stronger. However, Detroit will upset their opponent at least once on home ice, so it would be logical to bet on a Colorado win and a puck exchange. Prediction: Colorado Win + Both Teams To Score.

• W2 + Both Teams To Score for 1.7
• W2 + Total Over 4.5 for 1.85
• Winning Margin 2 by 2 for 5.25
