Colorado

Colorado is one of the contenders for the Stanley Cup this season. They couldnt defend their title last season, but such years are always difficult. Now, they are well rested, missing the big victories, and ready to fight for the trophy again. The Avalanche is on a very steady course, and they continue to improve from month to month. In the last 12 meetings they have won nine times, losing only to Florida - 8-4, Montreal - 3-4 and Boston - 5-2. Such a solid stretch has allowed them to climb to third place in the Western Conference standings.

Washington

Washington has had a much tougher time. Over the past decade, the Capitals used to participate in cup race, but last season they failed to do the bare minimum. Now they struggle even more as all of their key players are a year older and Nicklas Bäckström has put his career on hold. However, the team is still fighting for points in almost every game, rather than giving up and going into a lineup rebuild. They are still outside the top eight, but only a win or two back.

Expect Betting Tips

Colorado returns home after difficult five games with Eastern clubs. In five matches, they gained six points out of ten. After that, the Avalanche had five days off to recover and get ready to face Washington, so they should be a lot fresher than the Capitals. Also, th team has been playing great at home lately, winning nine of their last ten games at Ball Arena. 

Colorado has also been entertaining fans with some energetic hockey. In the last ten meetings, they scored 84 (an average of 8.40). Moreover, in eight of the ten games, Denver has scored and conceded at least three pucks in each game.
