Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Colorado Avalanche.
I like the Colorado Avalanche to win this game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. The Avalanche have won 2 games in a row now but they have also looked really good in their games lately, stretching back over their previous 9. They have been racking up a lot of wins during this time and they have been winning a lot of those games by 2+ goals too. Their only loss over their previous 4 games was against the Wild in OT, losing that game 3-2 but the Wild have the 2nd most points in the West this year behind the Avalanche. The Avalanche just won their most recent game on home ice 4-2 over the Sharks but they beat the Flames in a road game right before beating the Sharks and the Flames are 1st place in their division in the West. The Avalanche are the best team in the league at the moment with the most points and they are also the only team with 100+ points this year. I think they are going to have no issues taking down the Penguins on home ice here and I expect them to win by a few goals since they have been really hot lately. The Penguins haven't looked great in their games lately, they did win their most recent game over the Wild who are really good this year, but they have only won 2/5 of their previous 5 games and their other win was an 11-2 destruction of 1 of the worst teams in the league this year, the Red Wings. The Penguins have 2 losses to the Rangers and 1 loss to the Sabres during that time and this has been an issue for the penguins lately, being unable to win many games against some of the better teams in the league. Even in their most recent game where they won over the Wild, they won 4-3 in OT and they even had a 3-1 lead in that game which they blew. This has been a common theme for the Penguins lately since they have struggled against the better teams in the league and I think they are going to have a tough time here in a road game against the best team in the league. The Avalanche have shown time and time again that they can compete with the best in the league and have been racking up many wins over good teams lately. I like the Avalanche to win this game.
T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Avalanche.
