Edmonton Oilers vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction: The Avalanche need just four games to reach the Stanley Cup final

On June 7, 2022, Edmonton will face Colorado at Rogers Place Arena in Alberta, Canada, in the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals.

 In the last 16 years, the Oilers have never reached the Western Conference Finals, and now they had done so when they had a lot of difficulties during the regular season and even had to change their head coach. The Blue Oranges beat Los Angeles (4:3) in the first round of the playoffs and then Calgary (4:1) in the second round. They are still struggling in the Western final, having lost three straight games with a score of 6:8, 0:4, and 2:4, but Edmonton does not look hopeless even in those encounters.

Colorado has been favorites for the last few seasons in a row, but something has prevented them from reaching the Stanley Cup each time. Now, the Avalanche are as close as possible to the coveted trophy. In the regular season, they declared their intentions, taking the final first place in the Western Conference standings. In the first round, they crushed Nashville (4:0), then they dealt with St. Louis (4:2), and now they are leading in their fight with Edmonton (3:0). The day before, the Blues beat them in the third game of the series with a score of 4:2, getting closer to the Stanley Cup final.

Colorado approaches the fourth game of the series with three straight wins in the previous three games. There is no doubt that Jared Bednar will find the right words to get his charges to play with motivation, and in this state, they are much stronger than Edmonton. The Denver team has proven that in past games, so now we have to bet on Colorado to win the game at around 2.165.

Colorado and Edmonton promised to be highly productive. We saw all of that in the first game of the series when the Avalanche crushed the Oilers 8:6. However, the scoring activity dropped in the next two games, so we only saw ten goals (5.00 average per game). In the upcoming battle, we again have an excellent chance to see high performance, as the Canadians have nothing to lose, so they will rush to attack, and the representatives of Denver do not score less than four goals in this series, so the best option for the prediction we see the total over 6.5 for 1.975.

Valeri Nichushkin is having a great season, becoming Colorado's true leader. In the last regular season, he scored 52 points (25 goals + 27 assists) and set a personal best. The Russian didn't stop there, so he's been quite productive in the playoffs as well. In 13 games, he scored five goals and four assists. The 27-year-old hockey player is obviously in excellent form, so a bet on Valeri Nichushkin's Total Over 0.5 at around 1.71 is worth considering.
