LiontipsColorado vs San Jose. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (April 1, 2022).
Command Analysis
Colorado became the first club to earn 100 points this season. The Avalanche rarely lose in regulation time, but they struggle to mount a long winning streak. Recently, they defeated Philadelphia (6:3), lost to Minnesota (2:3 OT) and celebrated success in a tight clash with Calgary (2:1).
The Avalanche don't have a very reliable defense, but they are the second-highest-scoring club in the NHL. On average, Bednar's men score four goals per game. However, today Colorado will be without one of their main forwards, Nathan McKinnon, who is injured again.
San Jose are likely to finish the regular season in 12th or 13th place in the West. Recently, the Sharks beat Calgary (4:3), and after a defeat to Edmonton (2:5), they prevailed over Anaheim with a score of 4:1.
The Sharks are not ready to play in the Stanley Cup, and they also have a long list of injuries. Unlike their opponent, Bob Boughner's side struggle to convert their power play chances (only 18,9% conversion)
