Chicago vs Colorado Prediction: the Avalanche Should Use a Chance to Win

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Chicago vs Colorado, which will take place on April 3rd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chicago

Chicago has had a pretty poor season. The Blackhawks have been pretty dire, and as a result, they've only earned 51 points in 74 games, putting them in 15th position in the overall Western Conference table. And San Jose, who are at the bottom of the table, have just one less. It's pretty clear that the Hawks aren't aiming for anything more this season, and their recent results back that up. In their last 11 games, Chicago lost 10 times in a row, including a 2-5 loss to Utah the day before.

Colorado

Meanwhile, Colorado is a real Stanley Cup contender. The Avalanche have a great lineup, the Nathan MacKinnon factor, and the experienced Jared Bednar, who has been at the helm for almost a decade. The Avalanche are doing brilliantly in the regular season, with 94 points in 75 games and fourth place in the Western Conference standings. There's still a chance they could overtake the top team, Vegas, but it'll be tough. Colorado had a bit of a wobble recently, losing to St. Louis 1-2 and in a shootout to Calgary 2-3, after a pretty impressive run of four wins in a row.

H2H Meetings

The last time Chicago and Colorado met was on 11 March 2025, when the Avalanche were stronger with a score of 3-0.

For a total over 5.5 pucks, they're offering a 1.60 coefficient, and for the opposite, it's 2.25.

Expert Betting Tips

We're going to go for Colorado here. The difference in class is obvious, in terms of the composition of the Avalanche is many times more powerful, in addition, they have a carload of motivation. While Chicago's recent track record isn't great, with 10 defeats in 11 matches, we're not overlooking them. Back in March, the Avalanche threw away a 3-0 lead against the Hawks, but we reckon they'll get a win now with a decent score difference.
