Pittsburgh Penguins vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction: Expect a high-scoring battle

Prediction for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins vs Colorado Avalanche match which will take place on October 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh failed to reach the playoffs after the regular season for the first time in many years. In the off-season, no personnel decisions were expected. All the veterans stayed with the team on big contracts. The current season could be better for the Penguins, as they have only beaten Washington and Calgary 4:0 and 5:2 in their first six games, with the other four being regulation losses. It is only good enough for the Penguins to sit in the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference.

Colorado Avalanche

Colorado had a less productive season last year, as the team struggled in the regular season. They sensationally lost to Seattle in the playoffs in the first round - 4:3. Most likely, the Avalanche will benefit from such difficulties, as such an early exit allowed them to rest finally. At the same time, past mistakes are an opportunity to avoid repeating them. The start of the current regular season shows that the Avalanche is ready to fight for the top, as they are in second place in the Western Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Pittsburgh and Colorado come into this match in different states of mind. The Pennsylvanians started the current season well, but with each new game, they looked worse and worse. In the last three meetings, they did not score a single point. The Denver team has a much better record. They have won all six opening games this season and are not slowing down. They get better from game to game. 

We have already noted that Colorado is in great shape, beating everyone, and the productivity of their offense is particularly impressive. Through six games, the Avalanche have already scored 28 goals (4.67 average per game), the best of any team in the Western Conference. Looking at Denver's overall performance, the Avalanche have 40 shots (6.67 average per game) in six games, so expect a high-scoring battle.
