New Jersey - Colorado: betting tip (cf. 1.78) and bets on the NHL match

Top bets from an expert

Command Analysis

Seven goals against the Rangers allowed New Jersey to demonstrate almost all of its attacking capabilities. Sheldon Keogh's team won 7-1, with Luke Hughes scoring a double, and five other hockey players scored once each. The hosts had a particularly good second period, when they scored four goals at once. It seemed that after such a result, the Devils would finally be able to start a stable winning streak.
However, the next meeting was followed by a defeat from Washington (2:4). Arseniy Hrytsyuk opened the scoring in the first period, but then the capital's team scored four goals in a row. Only in the end Timo Mayer managed to close the gap, realizing the majority. Jake Allen blocked 21 shots and didn't always help his teammates out in difficult situations. In general, New Jersey's offense is far from bad, but the defense is clearly lacking in reliability. The team regularly allows opponents to create dangerous moments even after a successful start of the meeting.

Colorado's previous match wasn't going the way we would have liked. On the road against Philadelphia, the visitors conceded first when Matvey Michkov converted the majority. Then Martin Nechas restored equality, but in the second period the Russian again put the hosts ahead. And in the final twenty minutes, Noel Acciari increased the advantage of the Flyers.
T.J. Hughes managed to close the gap, but he couldn't save the meeting. The 2:3 defeat was especially unpleasant against the background of the previous victory over Pittsburgh (5:2). Then the Avalanche lost 0:2, but they responded with five unanswered goals, and Nathan MacKinnon scored four points. In general, Colorado's offense remains one of the most dangerous in the championship. However, not every opponent allows the team to create chances freely. It became especially noticeable against Philadelphia, although the guests managed to organize serious pressure in the end.
Tip and bets
The defeat of the Rangers showed that New Jersey is able to take advantage of other people's mistakes perfectly. However, the very next meeting with Washington revealed the previous problems in defense. Defenders lost opponents too often, and Allen failed to fix all the flaws. Colorado also has unsuccessful matches, but the attacking potential of the team is much higher. McKinnon and Nechas are able to create chances on their own, and the rest of the links regularly connect to complete combinations.
An additional challenge for the guests will be a busy calendar after their trip to Philadelphia. Nevertheless, the Avalanche have already shown that they can quickly improve after defeats. New Jersey will probably try to offer outdoor hockey, but this scenario is quite convenient for attacking guests. Even with the recent setback, we prefer Colorado.
Our prediction is that Colorado will win the match in 1.78
