My Prediction
Colorado Avalanche by 2Dress warmly folks, we're off to Colorado where the Avalanche are hosting the New Jersey Devils. Checking the net for this one will be our goalies Jake Allen and Nico Daws representing for the Devils, while the Avalanche rolls with Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood.
The Devils' forward cadre is heavy artillery. We're talking about Jesper Bratt, having a great season with 18 goals and an outstanding 51 assists. Alongside him, we got the Hughes brother, Jack Hughes, netting 26 goals and 42 assists. The defensive wall is led by Dougie Hamilton and his 9 goals, great stuff from the back end.
On the other end of the ice, well, up in the Rockies the air might be thin but the talent isn't. Again, the Avalanche are boasting some bombastic talent in the form of Nathan MacKinnon. Guy's a magician on ice, secured 21 goals and a whopping 66 assists over the season. Cale Makar from the back is doing wonders, 22 goals to his name. And Martin Necas, adding his 20 goals.
Looking at how they've clashed, the Avalanche have had the upper hand in the previous head to heads, winning 3 of the last 4 matchups.
Assessing form over the season, both teams show a close count in their Win-Loss ratio but the Avalanche seems to be the team with the better runs recently, overcoming the Devils by just a bit.
So, as the puck drops, the odds are favoring the Avalanche at home, but, remember folks: ice is slippery and so are predictions.
