My Prediction
Colorado Avalanche by 2Alright folks, lets mull over this matchup between the Calgary Flames and the Colorado Avalanche. With these two heavyweights set to put their skates to the ice, it's promising to be quite the showdown.
Behind the mask for the Flames, we've got the likes of Dustin Wolf, whose record for the season boasts an impressive 1197 saves, with a save percentage of 91.0%. Then there's Dan Vladar, with a marginally better season save percentage of 92.5%, though with fewer saves at 669.
Flipping the coin, the Avalanche counters with Mackenzie Blackwood who pulled off a 92.4% save rate this season, alongside 1316 saves. Then there’s Scott Wedgewood, with his last month performance shining through at 93.9% save rate.
Taking a glance at the rosters, the Flames have had Nazem Kadri netting 10 goals last month, while Rasmus Andersson's last season scoreline distinctly cries out for attention with his -31 plus-minus. If nothing else, it's noteworthy, I guess.
As for the Avalanche, they've got players like Nathan MacKinnon, who's been on a tear with 30 goals and 79 assists this season. That's like creating a mountain out of a molehill. And let's not forget Cale Makar's recent performance - 13 assists in the last month and a season plus-minus of 29. Absolutely stellar!
The past matchups have seen Colorado Avalanche leave the Flames in their ice dust. Recent performance tells a similar tale for our teams. The Avalanche have a slight edge considering their win rate, but the Flames aren't too far out either.
However, going by gut feeling (which is always 89.6% accurate), the Colorado Avalanche might just have this one in the bag. So, here is my prediction.
