Colorado Avalanche vs. Arizona Coyotes Predictions
The Colorado Avalanche head into the matchup with the Arizona Coyotes carrying the momentum of a four-game winning streak, showcasing their offensive prowess and solid goaltending. The Avalanche’s attack is spearheaded by the dynamic Cale Makar, who leads the team with 32 points, including a league-leading 26 assists. Mikko Rantanen has also been a key contributor, leading the team with 12 goals. Colorado’s offense ranks third in the league, averaging 3.76 goals per game, and their power play has been clicking, scoring in eight straight games. Defensively, they are anchored by goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, who has been a stabilizing presence between the pipes.
On the other side, the Arizona Coyotes have been finding ways to win games despite being outmatched on paper. With a recent victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Coyotes have shown they can compete with the best. Lawson Crouse leads the team with 10 goals, while Clayton Keller has been the top playmaker, amassing 19 points. The Coyotes’ penalty kill has been particularly effective, rising from 25th to 13th in the league, and they have killed off 18 straight penalties over six games. This defensive resilience will be crucial as they face a high-scoring Avalanche team.
The game will likely hinge on the performance of the star players and the effectiveness of each team’s special teams. The Avalanche’s high-powered offense, led by Makar and Rantanen, will test the Coyotes’ improved penalty kill. Meanwhile, the Coyotes will rely on Crouse and Keller to penetrate the Avalanche’s defense and challenge Georgiev. With both teams coming into the game with winning streaks, this matchup promises to be a competitive and exciting contest, with key player matchups and strategic battles that could tip the scales in either direction.
Colorado Avalanche vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick
The Colorado Avalanche enter this game as the clear favorites, and for good reason. Their offensive firepower, led by Cale Makar and Mikko Rantanen, has been consistently strong, with the team averaging 3.76 goals per game. The Avalanche’s power play has been particularly effective, finding the back of the net in eight consecutive games. While the Arizona Coyotes have shown resilience, especially on the penalty kill, the Avalanche’s overall depth and scoring ability give them the edge. Additionally, Colorado’s goaltender, Alexandar Georgiev, has provided the team with quality starts, and his performance will be key in keeping the Coyotes’ offense at bay.
Historically, the Avalanche have had the upper hand in recent matchups, winning three of the last four encounters. Although the Coyotes have been successful against the spread, the Avalanche’s current form suggests they can overcome past betting trends. The Coyotes’ recent wins against strong teams like the Lightning are commendable, but the Avalanche’s consistent offensive pressure and strong special teams play are likely to prevail. Given the Avalanche’s current win streak and their position as one of the top teams in the Western Conference, placing a moneyline bet on Colorado is the more convincing option for this game.
