Columbus vs Colorado Prediction: the Avalanche Will Face the Tough Opponent

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Columbus vs Colorado, which will take place on April 4th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Columbus

Columbus has had a great season. The Jackets' resources are pretty limited, but by some miracle they're still in with a chance of making the play-offs. With 77 points, Dean Evason's team are in tenth position in the Eastern Conference standings, just two points behind the top eight. So the Blue Jackets are still in with a shout for the wild card. The day before, they beat Nashville 8-4.

Colorado

Colorado has pretty much nailed a playoff spot, and there's not much else left to play for. The Avalanche is doing well this season, but they still have their off days. They're going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment, with losses to St. Louis (1-2) and Calgary (2-3 in a shootout), as well as a 3-2 shootout win over Chicago the day before. In the overall Western Conference, Colorado is in fourth place with 96 points.

H2H Meetings

The last time Columbus and Colorado met was on 13th October 2024, when the Jackets won 6-4.

Expert Betting Tips

The Blue Jackets are doing really well, giving it their all, and any slip-up could knock them out of the playoffs. Dean Evason's team is giving 100%. The opponents are Colorado, who've been struggling recently with two defeats and a disappointing performance against Chicago the day before. It's also the second day in a row that he's playing, so he might be running on empty. It feels like the Avalanche has switched to energy-saving mode. We're offering a bet on the home team not to lose.
