It's time for interesting matches in the regular season of the NHL. In one of the most striking meetings of the game day, Colorado and Vegas will fight. The meeting of these teams will take place on October 27 at 03:00 Moscow time at the Ball Arena. Our portal has prepared its forecast for this confrontation for you.
Colorado Avalanche
The management's decisions in the offseason were controversial and clearly did not strengthen the team, which lost its main goalkeeper and a number of strong defensive players. It will be difficult for the avalanches to surpass the success of last year, although they started quite cheerfully, beating Chicago in the first match, but after that there were defeats, a series of failures was completed only in the last match against Tampa Bay, winning with a score of 3:4.
Vegas Golden Knights
The Knights were active this offseason, releasing their main star and the best goalkeeper of last season to Chicago. Now the first number is Lehner, who has been lacking stability in recent years. The defense also weakened, which was already evident in the opening matches of the championship, where Vegas missed a lot and has already suffered many defeats. In attack, everything is also not in order for the Knights, the implementation at someone else's gate is clearly lame and the game is in the majority.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
-
Colorado - French (upper body injury), Taves (shoulder injury), Nichushkin (lower body injury), Matto (leg injury).
Vegas - Tuh (shoulder injury), Martinez (upper body injury), Pacioretty (leg injury).
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with the victory of Vegas with a score of 4:7.
- Colorado has won only twice in its last five meetings.
- Vegas has a bad streak of four defeats in a row.
Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this confrontation, because both teams are able to demonstrate a bright game. Colorado has been showing good hockey lately, but it has an overcrowded infirmary. The Knights weakened in the offseason, and failed the start of the championship, issuing a series of defeats. I think the victory here will go to the hosts.
