Colorado Avalanche vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction: What to expect from the battle of the West's leaders?

Prediction for the NHL Colorado Avalanche vs Edmonton Oilers match, which will take place on April 12. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Colorado is in great shape. Moreover, the reigning Stanley Cup winner started this season mediocre and lost many points. But then they managed to pull themselves together and now are in third place in the table of the West with 104 points, even still having a chance to become the best in the conference. Everything is excellent - five wins in a row if we talk about the previous games. After their success against Los Angeles (4:3), Colorado beat modest Anaheim (5:4) in overtime.

If Colorado, in the course of the current campaign, improved, but Edmonton from its beginning looked great and all the time is at the top of the Western Conference standings. The Oilers are in second place with 105 points after two games left in the regular season. Like the Avalanche, they still have an excellent chance to take first place. Moreover, Edmonton also approaches the fight after a winning streak, which now counts seven games. All victories were achieved during regular time, and the last was devastating - with the score of 6:1 over San Jose.

We should not pick a favorite in this battle. Even the bookmakers don't see one, which isn't surprising at all. Both teams are in great form right now, winning one win after another. Neither team will interrupt their winning streak. That's what you should expect when you meet the leaders of the West, who are fighting for first place. Colorado and Edmonton have great players on the attack, and they'll be able to play their best hockey without too much pressure. So we suggest a bet on the total over (6.5) pucks.
