Colorado Avalanche Betting Preview

The Avalanche have fallen slightly under .500 over their last 10 games. They have yet to beat the Oilers in two attempts so far, but both of those matches were at home and now they are at a disadvantage.

Nathan MacKinnon leads the team with 80 points and 60 assists, while Mikko Rantanen (recently traded to the Carolina Hurricanes) led with 25 goals. Artturi Lehkonen is leading their team in scoring now, who ranks 31st as opposed to Rantanen’s place at eighth.

The Avalanche are averaging 3.20 goals and 29.3 shots a game. Their defense has been allowing 3.04 goals and 26.5 shot attempts per matchup. This is a tight margin of error, which shows they cannot slack off on defense.

They have scored 34 power play goals and have allowed 27 for a power play percentage at 21.1. They also have a penalty kill percentage at 80.4, which is slightly more appealing than what the Oilers have produced.

Edmonton Oilers Betting Preview

The Oilers have won their last two games which have both been won in overtime and are slightly ahead of .500 in their last 10. In eight of their last 10 games, the matchups have been decided by a goal.

Leon Draisaitl leads them with 81 points and 38 goals, as he currently leads the league in scoring. Connor McDavid leads them with 49 assists, but has also produced 22 goals and gives them a strong secondary scoring option.

Their offense scores 3.30 goals and fires off 32.7 shot attempts per game. Defensively they have allowed opponents to score 2.70 goals and take 26.7 shots each battle. This spread is slightly more appealing in comparison to what the Avalanche offers.
