This NHL season has given us a lot of bright meetings, but the most important ones are still ahead. It's time for the conference finals games, so Colorado and Edmonton will meet again in the West. The third meeting of these teams will take place on June 5 at 03:00 Moscow time. Our portal offers you its forecast for the outcome of this meeting.
Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers have shown 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 were revealed in the construction of the defense of the "oilmen", also the goalkeepers did not save, which resulted in two defeats in the series against the powerful "Colorado".
Colorado Avalanche
With the return of the main clip of players, 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. The Avalanches also started the series with the Oilers successfully and were able to get two home victories.
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with a 4-0 victory for Colorado.
- Edmonton has lost just twice in their last five meetings.
- Colorado has a good streak of three consecutive wins.
Forecast
Edmonton looks like a small favorite in this confrontation, which will have the advantage of its own ground and after two opening defeats will have to play at home only to win. I think, after all, a better depth of the squad and a more reliable goalkeeper will bring victory to the guests.
