Florida vs. Colorado: NHL Match Prediction
Florida will host Colorado in one of the central games of the game day on November 24. The Panthers have seriously lost ground after a great stretch that began in late October and lasted almost until the middle of this month. The Avalanche, on the other hand, have gained excellent form and have greatly improved their position in the Western Conference standings. Last season, both meetings between the teams were won by the Cats. What will the duel between the rivals be like this time? Find the answer in the forecast for it
Command Analysis
Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
Florida took the lead in the East in early November, but now the "Cats" have fallen to sixth place in the conference. Aleksander Barkov team has lost four of the previous five games and has completely failed in the away series. At the moment, Paul Maurice charges have 25 points after 20 starts, but they are only three points behind Carolina and can change the situation in the very near future. In a two-game away series, the "Panthers" lost heavily to Winnipeg (3:6) immediately after beating the Jets on home ice (5:0). On November 22, the reigning champions lost to Chicago (1:3), which became the main sensation of the game day. Despite the fact that the visitors shot quite a lot at the "Hawks" goal, they managed to score only one goal.
The hosts have seriously slowed down in terms of scoring and have scored only 12 goals in their last five starts. Sam Reinhart remains Florida leading scorer with 30 points (15+15). The Canadian shares the status of the league leading sniper with Washington forward Alexander Ovechkin, but he could overtake the veteran, who was injured and out for a long period of time.
Sergei Bobrovsky has not shown his best game this fall and often lets down his teammates. Spencer Knight replaced the Russian in the last game against Chicago, but he also failed to play reliably. In the last five games, the "cats" have conceded 19 goals and have become the worst team in the conference in this period.
Disqualifications and injuries
Florida will play against Colorado with its optimal lineup.
Interesting trends for betting
- Florida averages 3.5 goals per game
The Panthers have continued to show very productive offensive play this season, but they have not been as good in recent games.
- The Panthers are blocking 16 shots per game.
The hosts regularly help their goalies, but this does not always save the team from conceding goals.
Colorado Avalanche
USACurrent form
Colorado has finally reached the top eight teams in the Western Conference. The Denver club is currently in great shape and has earned ten points in its last six games. The team under the command of Jared Bednar has risen to seventh place and currently has 22 points after 20 starts. The Avalanche played an almost flawless home series, but lost to the guests from the US capital in the final match (2:5). The Avalanche away tour started with a victory in Pennsylvania over local Philadelphia (3:2), and two days later, Gabriel Landeskog team took revenge on Washington (2:1) for the recent defeat on the ice of Ball Arena. The Capitals opened the scoring in the match, but were unable to hold on to it and conceded one goal each in the second and third periods.
The visitors have added to their defensive reliability and have conceded only 12 goals in their previous five starts. On average, Denver concedes 3.55 goals per game this season, so the latest figures can be considered very good. Aleksandr Georgiev returned to action after an injury and immediately played a strong match against Washington. The Russian goalie saved 96.60% of the shots on his goal and became the best player of the match.
Nathan MacKinnon shares the top spot in the league scoring list with Kirill Kaprizov. The Canadian has 34 assists (7+24) and holds the title of the NHL top assist provider by a wide margin.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ross Colton and Gabriel Landekskog will not play on the road against Florida.
Interesting trends for betting
- Colorado is allowing an average of 3.55 goals per game.
The Avalanche have not shown a strong level of play on defense since the start of the season.
- The Avalanche average 7.6 penalty minutes per game.
Guests are sent off four times on average per game.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In four of Florida previous six games, no more than one goal was scored in the first period.
2.00Bet 2nd period: Colorado will score
Colorado has scored in the second period for six straight games.
1.50Tip and bets
Florida has lost its former form and is playing terribly on defense at this stage of the season. The Panthers have won only one of their previous five games and are not showing their best hockey yet. Colorado has become more reliable and with the return of Alexander Georgiev, it can further improve its position in the Western Conference table. The visiting team leaders continue to score points in huge quantities and are still among the top ten scoring players in the league. We think the Avalanche should cling to points in the game against the Cats. We offer a bet on the visiting team double chance.
Our prediction is Colorado will not lose at 1.70
Bet on individual total
Florida has scored only 12 goals in its last five games, although the Panthers have been among the best in terms of converting chances during the season. Colorado has improved its defense and has not allowed its opponents to freely dispose of the puck in its own zone. Alexander Georgiev should give the visitors confidence and contain the Cats' attack.
Forecast - Florida individual total under three goals for 1.90
Bet on total
The efficiency of matches involving Colorado has seriously decreased in November, and Florida plays for the total more only because the hosts concede in large quantities. The clubs often have spectacular games between themselves, but now everything suggests that we will not see a large number of goals scored. We suggest betting on the total less.
Forecast - total under six goals for 1.77
