Colorado Avalanche vs Florida Panthers. The NHL pick for this game is the Colorado Avalanche. The Panthers won three straight games and want to continue that winning streak on their home ice.
The issue is that the Avalanche wants to take control of this game right away to recover from a difficult loss.
With Mikko Rantanen, Nathan MacKinnon, and the rest of the forward group carrying the ball into the offensive zone and generating open shots with excellent puck movement, the Avalanche should generate lots of scoring opportunities.
With Cale Makar, Devon Toews, and the rest of the defense causing turnovers in the defensive zone and reducing shots on goal, the Avalanche should also recover from a game in which they gave up five goals and limit the Panthers’ offense, enabling goaltender Alexandar Georgiev to make many crucial saves.
To end their recent losing streak, the Avalanche should prevail in the game. The Colorado Avalanche will win to a predicted score of 7-3.
