Pittsburgh vs Colorado Prediction: Choosing was Hard

Prediction for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins vs Colorado Avalanche match, which will take place on February 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is not spectacular this season. Overall, the team is performing well, but they could do much better with such resources. Now the Penguins are fifth in the Metropolitan Division, in the playoff zone. They have earned 57 points in 49 meetings. Before the break for the All-Star Game, the team had a far from a good run. They won only one game in regular time over nine games. In the previous one, Pittsburgh lost to San Jose (4-6).

Colorado

Colorado is doing about the same as Pittsburgh. That's hardly a good result for the reigning Stanley Cup champion, considering that with 57 points after 48 meetings, they're fourth in the Central Division standings, behind the playoff. And it's the Avalanche who have improved a bit, as they've claimed seven wins in eight games with only one loss ahead of the break. In the last, Colorado defeated St. Louis (4-2).

Expert Betting Tips

Experts do not see a favorite in the upcoming meeting, giving equal odds on the teams' success. However, we favor Colorado, as they trivially look noticeably better lately. The Avalanche have failed only one of the last eight games, while Pittsburgh got only one win in nine games (also, two in overtime and six losses). In general, we think the visitors will gain two points, at least in overtime and shootout.
