Colorado vs Philadelphia Prediction: the Avalanche Should Earn Two Points

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Colorado vs Philadelphia, which will take place on February 2nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Colorado

Colorado lost more games than they won in January, which put their position in jeopardy. The Denver club dropped to sixth place in the Western Conference standings, six points ahead of ninth Vancouver. If the Avalanche keep playing like this, they might not even make the playoffs. The team's got two wins and three losses so far, with a total score of 15:15, which puts them ninth in the conference.

Philadelphia

After a six-game point streak, Philadelphia has had a dismal five-game stretch in which they've only got one win, a 4-2 victory over New Jersey. In the other four matches, the Flyers failed, and three times to direct competitors in the fight for a place in the cup zone. This has caused their position in the Eastern Conference standings to drop a lot. At the moment, Tortorella's team is only 14th in the Eastern Conference, with 52 points.

H2H Meetings
