This NHL season has given us a lot of bright meetings, but the most interesting ones are still ahead. It's time for the conference finals games, so Colorado and Edmonton will meet in the West. The first meeting of these teams will take place on June 1 at 03:00 Moscow time. Our portal offers you its forecast for the outcome of this meeting.
Colorado Avalanche
After the loss of the main goalkeeper and injuries to key players, the Colorado players started the new season hard. With the return of the main clip, the Avalanches began to regain their confidence and climb up the standings, eventually taking first place in the Western conference. The Avalanches approached the playoff games in the optimal composition and tore up Nashville, and then St. Louis passed in six games, showing excellent implementation.
Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers have been showing a good game since the start of the season, especially with regard to the team's offensive leaders, who again actively began to score points in the new championship. The season was spent powerfully by the Edmonton players, which was not a revelation for the fans. In the playoffs, everything turned out to be not so rosy, problems in the construction of the defense of the Oilers were revealed, but this did not prevent the modest Los Angeles from passing, after which they beat Calgary in five meetings.
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with a 3-6 victory for Edmonton.
- Colorado has lost just twice in its last five meetings.
- Edmonton has a good streak of four consecutive wins.
Forecast
The big favorite in this confrontation looks like "Colorado", which will have the advantage of its site and approaches the meeting in the optimal composition, which can create big problems for the guests. I think the problems in the defense of the "oilmen" will not allow them to get a victory here.
