Colorado is one of the clear contenders for the Stanley Cup this season. The debut of the current regular season was not the most productive and bright for the Avalanche. Still, gradually, they began to gain form, getting closer to the group of league leaders. The Avalanche played especially strong in March, when they went on a nine-game winning streak, showing consistently high-quality hockey. By the end of the month, they still got a little tired, so they lost to Montreal 1:2, and the day before, they failed to cope with the Rangers, losing in a shootout - 2:3. So far, the team sits in third place in the Western Conference standings, and the gap from the leader is only three points.
Nashville Predators
Nashville had not such a high level of ambition before the start of this season, and the first half of the regular season only confirmed it. The Predators often lost points, showing a mediocre level of hockey, but gradually, they still managed to gain a great form, which is still in place. In the second half of February, they started a streak of games with points that eventually reached the mark of 18 games, a record in the franchise's history. During that stretch, they had 16 wins, losing only to Montreal and Minnesota in overtime, 3:4 each. The previous day, however, the series was interrupted when they lost to Arizona, 4:8, but that doesn't stop the Yellow and Blue from remaining in sixth place in the Western Conference standings.
Expert Betting Tips
Colorado and Nashville had a similar situation last month. Both teams gained good momentum, collecting points in packs and improving their tournament position, but the day before, they lost. The Avalanche are still the favorites in this pairing. They are playing in front of their home crowd, which is an argument in their favor, but they also traditionally play well against the Predators, winning eight of the last ten head-to-head meetings.
In recent years, the rivalry between Colorado and Nashville has been very rich in goals. In the previous 14 head-to-head meetings, the rivals have combined to score 100 goals (7.14 per game on average). In addition, the Avalanche and Predators are consistently productive in this pairing, so they scored at least three goals in five of the last eight meetings.
