For the NHL lineup this Thursday, we look forward to a matchup between the heavily favored Colorado Avalanche and the Vancouver Canucks at the Ball Arena. With the 45-13-5 record of Avalanche and 30-26-8 record Of Canucks, we expect for both teams to bring the heat on ice for this Western Conference showdown.  

The Colorado Avalanche are looking strong as ever, ranking first in the Western Conference, with a total of 241 goals, 413 assists, and 654 points. They currently have a 4-game winning streak, outscoring their opponents and recording two shutouts. With a record of 3-0-1 in their last four games at home and 25-3-3 overall at home, they are not about to let the next match against the Canucks be their downfall, especially now that they hold the commanding lead in the Central Division with 95 points. Nathan McKinnon was able to bring the team closer to victory by scoring the game-winner 52 seconds into the extra session, marking his 22nd goal for this year. Mikko Rantanen also scored eight points and four goals from his last five games. He is currently the leader for the club with his 31 goals and 75 points. With these top performers combined, Colorado is averaging 3.83 goals per game, ranked as second in the NHL. 

 

The Vancouver Canucks are entering this game against the Colorado Avalanche coming off a 2-3-2 seven-game homestand, where they lost the last three of the games. The team is currently 11th in the Western Conference, with a record of 180 goals, 300 assists, and 480 points. Last Monday, they were defeated by the Buffalo Sabres with a final record of 3-2. In total, they are 4-4-2 for this month which places them at 5th in the Pacific Division. The team has a record of 16-13-3 on the road. J.T. Miller was able to make his 25th goal, while Bo Horvat made his 23rd this season when Canucks rallied twice in an attempt to catch up against Buffalo. Currently, Miller has six points and five assists from the last five games. He leads the Canucks in points, having made 75. The team has an average of 2.81 goals per game, ranked 21st in the NHL. 

 

With the Colorado Avalanche seemingly unstoppable, our bets are on them for this matchup. The Avalanche managed to defeat the Canucks for both of their meetings this season, and they also have a record of 6-2-2 in their last ten meetings. It is highly likely that they will perform similarly in the upcoming match.
