Colorado Avalanche vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction: the Oilers should not be underestimated

Prediction for the NHL Colorado Avalanche vs Edmonton Oilers match will occur on January 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Colorado Avalanche

Colorado can't get any higher in the West this season. The Avalanche seems to be winning, but there have been misfires occasionally, and the start has been so bad. As a result, Jared Bednar's men sit sixth in the conference with 55 points. For seven games in a row, Colorado has alternated wins and losses. After an embarrassing 3-0 loss to Winnipeg, the Avalanche bounced back to beat the Rangers 3-2 overtime.

Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton has been incredibly resilient and has rocketed up the Western Conference standings. A huge motivation for the Oilers is that they were one game away from winning the Stanley Cup last season. Now, Chris Nobloch's side is racking up victory after victory, and they already sit third in the conference table with 59 points. Edmonton have won seven of their last eight games, beating Minnesota 5-3 the day before.

H2H Stats

Colorado and Edmonton have met once this season with the Oilers winning 4-1.

Expert Betting Tips

There's no denying this is the second game of a back-to-back for Edmonton. But in the first one, the Oilers clearly got an incredible boost of positive emotions, beating Minnesota by five goals (5-3). The Oilers have won seven of their last eight games, while Colorado have lost three of their previous six. We think the Oilers should not be underestimated going into this one - they look like a monolithic structure at the moment, with almost no weaknesses. Therefore, we offer a bet that they will not lose after three periods.
