LiontipsColorado vs Winnipeg. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 7, 2022).
Command Analysis
Colorado are currently in the top-3 in the West. The team is having a great season and is on top form, having suffered only one defeat in the last eight games. Just before the break, the Avalanche lost to Nashville (2:5), but after that they recorded victories over Anaheim (4:2) at home and over Chicago (4:3 OT) away.
Jared Bednar's charges usually do well at home. They lost only 2 out of 14 home games in regulation and on average scored 4-5 goals per match.
At the moment, Winnipeg are outside the playoffs zone, just one point behind Edmonton. The Jets are not a very consistent club and rarely enjoy long winning streak, but they often cling to points in games against very strong opponents. For instance, they recently upset Vegas with a score of 5:4. The Jets were losing 0:2, but managed to turn the tide and won in overtime.
After that, Winnipeg cruised to victory over Arizona (3:1). We should point out, however, that away from home the Jets concede an average of three goals per game.
