Colorado vs. Carolina: NHL Match Prediction
One of the main events of November 10 in the NHL will be the duel between Colorado and Carolina. The match should be colorful and evenly contested. However, the Avalanche are currently in mediocre form, while the Hurricanes are on a long winning streak and have not known the bitterness of defeat. But the last time the Hurricanes beat the Avalanche away was back in 2019. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You can find out from our forecast
Command Analysis
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado is outside the playoff zone and currently occupies the 11th place in the Western Conference standings. The team cannot find stability and, as a rule, plays in series. Not long ago, it faced a series of three failures. However, after a disastrous away match against Nashville (2:5), the Avalanche finally pulled themselves together and dealt with Seattle at home (6:3). However, after that, they went on the road again, where they could not cope with Winnipeg and were left without goals, losing with a score of 0:1.
By the way, such a situation with the Avalanche happens very rarely, because they have a powerful attack line and constantly create a huge number of dangerous moments at the opponent goal. Today, the club is one of the most productive in its conference and on average scores at least three goals.
In addition, the team ranks second in the league in 5v4 play and currently has a 36.2% power play percentage. It is also no surprise that Colorado’s best performance is in the second period, as it likes to play on the offensive end and makes good use of the open space when hockey is played with the far benches. It is worth noting that Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon continue to demonstrate incredible play, having earned 23 and 25 points in the goal-assist system, respectively.
Disqualifications and injuries
Landeskog, Druen, Wood and Colton will not take part in the match.
Interesting trends for betting
- Colorado wins 45.8% of faceoffs
The Avalanche are weak at the point and allow their opponents to win most of the faceoffs.
- The Avalanche have 31 shots on goal.
Colorado is showing good shooting activity and spends most of its time in the opponent zone
Carolina Hurricanes
USACurrent form
Carolina could very soon climb to the top spot in the Eastern Conference, as they are currently just one point behind the leader and have two games played less. The Hurricanes have been showing incredible results since the start of the season and are one of the most stable clubs at the moment.
Let emphasize that they are on a long series of eight victories and are unlikely to stop there. The Hurricanes have just completed a series of home games, in which they dealt with Boston (8:2), beat Washington (4:2), and then confidently dealt with Philadelphia (6:4) and Pittsburgh (5:1).
In many cases, Rod Brind'Amour team demonstrates excellent efficiency and opens up the opponent defense at least three or four times. Carolina is most powerful in the opening twenty minutes, in which it has a ratio of 15:7 in goals scored and goals conceded. In unequal compositions, it also shows its best side. Thus, the club has 24.8% of the implementation of the majority, and also has 84.8% of the neutralization of the opponent numerical advantage. It is also worth mentioning that so far the Hurricanes have suffered only one defeat on the road in regular time, and have achieved success in the other five meetings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andersen and Fast will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting

1.67Bet 2nd period: guests will score

1.38Tip and bets
Carolina has every chance of a favorable outcome for itself in this meeting. The Hurricanes are in incredibly good shape and are on a long winning streak, leaving even tough matches behind them. The Avalanche are experiencing many problems and cannot cope with many opponents even on their home ice. The Hurricanes play more systematic hockey and are able to play more reliably in defense than the Avalanche, who are strong only in attack. In addition, Brind'Amour team has previously managed to beat Colorado.
Prediction - Carolina win with handicap (0) for 1.80
Bet on individual total
Colorado has been showing a rather weak defense this season and on average concedes at least three to four goals even on home ice. Carolina has consistently scored at least three goals in seven previous games. The Avalanche conceded five goals in their previous game against the Hurricanes and it is far from certain that they will be able to play better defense in the upcoming encounter, since their style of play involves oncoming hockey.
We bet on Carolina individual total of more than three goals for 1.77
Total Bet
The last matches between the teams were spectacular and often had a large number of goals scored. Colorado will probably try to open up the opponent defense by playing on counterattacks and will act without a middle zone. As a rule, there is little physical struggle in the matches of these teams, and they are both focused on the result, so they spend a lot of time in the attack zone. It is quite possible that this time we will see at least six goals.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks for 1.52
