Over the last two seasons, the Anaheim Ducks and Colorado Avalanche have faced off three times, with the Avalanche emerging victorious in two of those encounters. The visiting team has remarkably won all three games, indicating a trend where home-ice advantage did not play a significant role. When it comes to betting statistics, the Ducks have proven to be the better bet against the spread, covering it in two out of the three games, while the Avalanche have only covered once. The total score has tended to be on the higher side, with the Over hitting twice and the Under only once. In terms of moneyline odds, the Avalanche have consistently been the favorites in each matchup, as indicated by their lower negative moneyline numbers compared to the Ducks’ positive figures. The games have been characterized by a high number of shots on goal from both teams, with the Avalanche averaging 44.67 shots and the Ducks averaging 28.33 shots across the three games. The Avalanche have also demonstrated a strong power play, particularly in the most recent game where they had a power play percentage of 37.5%.

Nathan MacKinnon played a crucial role for the Avalanche, scoring twice including the game-winning goal in overtime. The Ducks’ penalty kill was notably effective, maintaining a 100% success rate, but it was not enough to stave off the Avalanche’s offensive pressure.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Colorado Avalanche Predictions

The Anaheim Ducks head into this game with a solid record, having won eight of their last ten games, showcasing a remarkable ability to rally for comeback victories. The Ducks’ offense has been led by the sharpshooting Frank Vatrano, who has netted 11 goals this season, and playmaker Ryan Strome, who tops the team with 12 assists. However, they’ll be without key player Trevor Zegras, which could impact their offensive depth. Anaheim’s defense, allowing an average of 2.93 goals per game, will be put to the test against Colorado’s potent scoring lineup.

Colorado Avalanche, on the other hand, are coming off a convincing 5-1 victory against the Seattle Kraken, with their star players Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen combining for a total of 39 points this season. The Avalanche have been inconsistent, with their scoring fluctuating and their defense conceding an average of 3.14 goals per game. However, they have a strong record against Pacific Division teams and have historically performed well against the Ducks, particularly at home in Denver.

This game will likely hinge on the performances of the goaltenders, with Anaheim’s John Gibson and Colorado’s Alexandar Georgiev being crucial to their teams’ success. The Ducks will need to tighten up their defense and capitalize on their scoring chances, while the Avalanche will look to leverage their home-ice advantage and offensive firepower to secure a win. With both teams eager to improve their standings in the Western Conference, expect an intense battle on the ice.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Colorado Avalanche Pick

The Colorado Avalanche enter this matchup as the clear favorites, and for good reason. Their recent form, including a dominant 5-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken, showcases their ability to score in bunches. With the Avalanche’s top players like Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen in fine form, contributing significantly to the team’s scoring, they have the offensive edge. Additionally, the Avalanche’s historical performance against the Ducks, especially at home, further bolsters the confidence in this pick. Despite some inconsistencies in their scoring and a defense that has been less than stellar, the Avalanche’s overall record against Pacific Division teams and their success in recent meetings with the Ducks at Ball Arena make them the safer bet.

While the Ducks have shown resilience and an impressive ability to stage comebacks, they are facing a Colorado team that has proven to be a tough opponent in their own building. The absence of Trevor Zegras from the Ducks’ lineup could also be a significant factor, as his offensive contributions will be missed. The Ducks’ defense, which has been allowing nearly three goals per game, will be tested by the Avalanche’s high-powered offense. Considering these factors, along with the Avalanche’s strong home record and the Ducks’ potential fatigue from recent games, the Colorado Avalanche moneyline bet is the more compelling choice for this game.

The Pick: Colorado Avalanche -295. (BetRivers)
