We are still waiting for a lot of bright games this year as part of the regular season of the NHL, so Pittsburgh and Colorado will hold a meeting with each other. The game of these teams will take place on February 8 at 03:00 Moscow time. Our portal offers you its forecast for the outcome of this meeting.
Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins gave a pretty strong start to the season and were able to gain a foothold in the playoff zone, but failures in the middle of the season pushed the team to eighth place in the conference. Recently, the team has been demonstrating a terrible defensive game and toothlessness in attack. So the Penguins alternate wins and losses, and in the last match they lost at home to San Jose with a score of 4:6.
Colorado Avalanche
After the loss of the main goalkeeper and injuries to key players, the Colorado players started the new season hard and do not have stability yet. It will be difficult for the avalanches to surpass the success of last year, especially with an overcrowded infirmary. Nevertheless, in past matches, Colorado was able to adjust the game, the leaders returned, which resulted in a series of victories, and in the last meeting they managed to defeat St. Louis at home with a score of 4:2.
Injuries and disqualifications
Pittsburgh - Archibald (upper body injury), Kapanen (upper body injury), Rutta (lower body injury), Jarry (lower body injury).
Colorado - Bayram (head injury), Landeskug (knee injury), Helm (upper body injury), Munson (upper body injury).
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with a victory for Colorado with a score of 4:6.
- Pittsburgh has won only twice in its last five meetings.
- Has a good streak of three wins in a row "Colorado" on the road.
Forecast
Colorado looks like a small favorite in this confrontation, now the avalanches have begun to gain momentum after a disastrous stretch, but the hosts are in bad shape. I think the meeting will be tough, and the victory will go to the Colorado players.
