Washington Capitals vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction: Expect Colorado to win a high-scoring encounter

Washington Capitals will take on Colorado Avalanche November 20 at 03:00 at Capital One Arena. Let’s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Washington continues to lose ground, with a weak regular season. It is not surprising, as the Capitals have not played their full roster yet this season. Nicklas Backstrom, T.J. Oshie, Tom Wilson, and Dmitry Orlov are still out injured and Peter Laviolette's squad struggles without them. In their 19 meetings, the Red and Blue have only seven wins, and in the last ten games, they have won only twice, which has already taken them down to 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Colorado also have to make do without two key players in the current regular season: Valeri Nichushkin is out for at least a month, and the prognosis for Gabriel Landeskog's return to the lineup is even worse. Nevertheless, while the Avalanche were struggling at the start of the season, losing five of nine games, they gradually adjusted to the circumstances which allowed them to get five wins in the next six games, losing only to St. Louis (2-3). Such a solid run helped Jared Bednar's team climb to sixth place in the Western Conference.

The teams approach the head-to-head encounter in very different forms. While the Capitals have lost eight of their last ten matches, the Avalanche have made good progress, winning five of their previous six games. Both teams have serious personnel issues, but Jared Bednar's charges have adjusted to the circumstances, while their opponent has not. As a result, a bet on Colorado's victory at odds of about 2.10 is in order.

Surprisingly, all of the recent face-offs between Washington and Colorado at Capital One Arena have been productive, while at Ball Arena they have not. In the upcoming game, we can expect a fun and entertaining matchup with plenty of scoring chances, and the best option seems to be Total Over (6.5) goals at odds of 2.16. In addition, we might consider betting on Evan Rodrigues's TO (0.5) for 1.85.
