LiontipsVancouver vs Colorado. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (November 18, 2021).
Command Analysis
Vancouvercontinue to deliver terrible results during the home series. The Canucks suffered devastating defeats in the last three games - to Colorado (1:7), Vegas (4:7), and Anaheim (1:5). Vancouver's coalie Demko and Halak were both unreliable, and the defencemen couldn't do much to help them.
The Canucks are losing points at home and away, and are currently occupying only the 13th line in the Western Conference table.
Colorado mostly have been playing at home in recent games, where they look very confident. The Avalanche crushed Vancouver (7:1) and San Jose (6:2). Defenceman Girard chalked up 6 points in those two games.
However, the Avalanche failed to defeat Columbus. First, they yielded to the Jackets at home in overtime (4:5 ОТ), and then lost at Columbus with a score of 4:2. Goalie Johansson saved only 86% of the shots at his goal.
