Vegas Golden Knights vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction: Another setback for Colorado

Colorado unexpectedly lost on home ice to Seattle and will now play on the road against Vegas in a back-to-back format. Do the Avalanche have no chance of success at all? Let's find out.

The appointment of Bruce Cassidy as head coach has clearly benefited Vegas. The Golden Knights have four wins in their first five games of the new championship. Vegas lost only to Calgary (2-3), beating Los Angeles (4-3), Chicago (1-0), Seattle (5-2) and Winnipeg (5-2). And with very high quality play at that.

The Avalanche clearly saw the game against Seattle as preparation for the game against Vegas. They lost by a score of 2-3, conceding the decisive puck shortly before the final siren. Wouldn't it have been better to strain the game against Kraken and give up the game against Vegas, where there wouldn't be much of a chance for success as it was?

In all, Colorado now have 3 losses and only 2 wins. Colorado beat Chicago (5-2) and Minnesota (6-3). In addition to Seattle, they lost to Calgary (3-5) and Winnipeg in overtime (3-4).

• Vegas: Shea Weber, Nolan Patrick, Robin Lehner will not play. Laurent Brossoit is questionable.
• Colorado: Gabriel Landeskog will not play. Devon Toews, Darren Helm are questionable.

Three of the four face-offs last season were low-scoring. You can bet on TU (5.5) for 2.75 at Bet365.

Vegas beat Colorado at home arena in 6 out of 10 matches played. Another home win for Vegas in h2h with Colorado in regular time is estimated at 2.40 by Bet365.

Colorado will have a back-and-back and with a flight at that. In less than 24 hours, Colorado will have to travel from Denver to Las Vegas and prepare for the game. Vegas is off to a brilliant start to the season and is unlikely to fail to take advantage of the difficulties of a major rival. The meeting is unlikely to be productive, as Colorado will certainly struggle. However, the Avalanche will not be able to beat the fresher Golden Knights on their ice.

Our prediction: Vegas Not To Lose + Total Under (7.5) for 2.21 at 1xbet.

Vegas to win in regular time for 2.25 at Betking.

Colorado Individual Total Under (2.5) for 2.80 at Bet365.
