Avalanche Defense Stepped Up

The Avalanche’s defense has not been successful overall, but in the last game against the Washington Capitals, they were able to secure a 2-1 victory. Miles Wood and Mikko Rantanen both scored goals for the Avalanche. Alexander Georgiev saved 28 of the 29 shots that he faced. The Avalanche are averaging 3.3 goals while their defense is giving up 3.55 goals per game. The offense is ranked 12th in the league while the defense is ranked 29th in the league. The defense overall has been an issue and in this game, they are going to need the defense to be like it was in the last game.

Panthers Coming off a Disappointing Loss

The Panthers are coming off a disappointing loss in the last game. The Panthers faced off against the Chicago Blackhawks, and they scored only one goal and they ended up losing by two goals. Sam Reinhart scored the only goal in the second period but it wasn’t enough as they gave up three goals. Spencer Knight did not have a great game and he saved 17 of the 19 shots that he faced. The Panthers are averaging 3.45 goals while their defense is giving p 32.5 goals per game. The offense is ranked 9th in the league while the defense is ranked 23rd in the NHL. 

Colorado Avalanche vs Florida Panthers Prediction

The Avalanche’s defense stepping up in the last game really gave me some hope and I expect they can continue that type of success here. The Avs offense is averaging 3.3 goals per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Panthers are going to have no answer, and Colorado is going to come out on top here. Back the Avalanche on the money line to cash.
