LiontipsAnaheim vs Colorado. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 20, 2022).
Command Analysis
Anaheim are strill slumping, and their losing streak has again reached three games. The Ducks suffered a defeat to Pittsburgh (1:4) at home. The defensive line wasn't very reliable and allowed the Pens to create a large number of scoring chances.
After that, the Ducks traveled to Minnesota, where they got devastated by the Wild (3:7). Goalie Stolars had a disastrous game and was substituted off in the second period after conceding six goals. The Ducks suffered their third defeat to Chicago (0:3).
Colorado have issues, but they continue to consistently earn points. The team has won in three matches in a row, but only once they finished the game in regulation. The Avalanche crushed Arizona (5:0), and forwards MacKinnon and Rantanen chalked up three points each.
In the last game, Colorado prevailed over Minnesota in a penalty shootout (4:3 SO). Thanks to these successful results, the Avalanche lead the Western Conference standings.

Our prediction - Colorado to win
We believe this can be a high-scoring game, since Colorado very often net a large number of goals, and the Ducks are unlikely to let the visitors keep a clean sheet.
