New Jersey vs Colorado Prediction: Betting on the Champion

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs Colorado Avalanche match, which will take place on October 29. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Jersey is slowly maturing to face serious challenges. In recent years we have not seen the Devils in the playoffs, as they had a rebuild. Now the process is close to completion. In the current season Lindy Ruff's team had a bad start, losing to Philadelphia and Detroit, 2:5, but they gradually began to improve, winning four of the next five games. The Red and Blacks are now eighth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Colorado is the reigning Stanley Cup champion. The Avalanche went through a tumultuous offseason when they had to waive a number of important players, but they still managed to extend agreements with some of them. In their regular season debut, Jared Bednar's men haven't shined yet, but it was hardly to be expected. In their seven meetings, they have won four games and lost three, which puts them currently in fourth place in the Western Conference standings. 

• New Jersey has lost to Colorado in regulation time in five of the last six meetings.
• Colorado has scored at least three pucks in each of the last six meetings.
• In all seven games this season, Colorado has conceded more than three goals.

New Jersey had a poor start to the regular season but gradually began to gain momentum. But their rivals were not the strongest teams in the NHL, and now they will play with the Stanley Cup owner, which is a big test for the Lindy Ruff wards. Moreover, the Avalanche have won five of their last six head-to-head meetings, so they are now the favorites.

New Jersey and Colorado look great on offense. The Devils already have 23 pucks in seven games (3.29 average), and the Avalanche have 25 pucks (3.57 average). Moreover, two of the last three head-to-head encounters have been head-to-head.
