Chicago Blackhawks @ Colorado Avalanche Preview

The Chicago Blackhawks (20-35-9) are in the midst of a challenging season, sitting near the bottom of the standings. Despite the presence of young star Connor Bedard, the team has struggled to find consistency, particularly on the road where they hold a 7-20-5 record. Their offense averages 2.77 goals per game, but their defense has been a major issue, allowing 3.47 goals per game.

On the other hand, the Colorado Avalanche (38-24-2) are surging, winning nine of their last 12 games. They boast a potent offense led by Nathan MacKinnon, who has already surpassed the 100-point mark this season, and Cale Makar, who has 75 points in 64 games. The Avalanche are averaging 3.36 goals per game and have turned Ball Arena into a fortress, winning their last seven home games. They are heavy favorites in this matchup.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last 10 head-to-head matchups, the Avalanche hold a 6-4 record against the Blackhawks. However, Chicago has surprisingly won both meetings this season, outscoring Colorado 8-3. Historically, Colorado has dominated at home, winning four straight games against Chicago at Ball Arena before their loss earlier this season. Recent trends suggest a high-scoring affair, with one team scoring four or more goals in each of the last five meetings in Colorado.

Pick: Avalanche -1.5

The Avalanche are the clear favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. Their recent form, home dominance, and offensive firepower make them a strong pick to cover the -1.5 spread. Chicago’s road struggles and defensive issues further bolster confidence in Colorado’s ability to secure a decisive victory. Expect Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar to lead the charge.

Top Player Prop Picks

Nathan MacKinnon Over 1.5 Points

MacKinnon has been on fire, leading the league with 100 points this season. Against a struggling Blackhawks defense, he is poised to have another big game. His ability to create scoring opportunities makes this a strong pick.

Cale Makar Over 0.5 Power Play Points

Makar has been a key contributor on the power play, and with Chicago’s penalty kill ranking near the bottom of the league, he has a great chance to capitalize on special teams.

Connor Bedard Over 0.5 Goals
