The year 2020 is signaling a shift in the league’s hockey powerhouses. The Colorado Avalanche appear to be again on the ascendance.
Colorado plays exciting, aggressive hockey with the roster that has depth at almost every position. Especially critical in a run for the Stanley Cup, where injuries to key players can make or break a series.
The Coyotes on the other hand surprised everyone by making the playoffs, although earlier in the season they did showcase some remarkably good play. Can the Coyotes surprise again and hang on for a sixth game? Let’s take a look.
Arizona Coyotes
Not many people expected the Coyotes to defeat the Colorado Avalanche in a best-of-seven series.
That said, the Coyotes have two key objectives: Keep the Avs’ skaters in front of them and make sure they have enough manpower in position to contain the Avs when they get scoring position.
The Coyotes’ incautious puck management and general undisciplined play sabotaged these objectives, eventually resulting in goals.
Offensively, Arizona needs to ugly it up and try to force Colorado to defend the forecheck and cycle.
Unfortunately for the Coyotes, the Avs have very mobile defensemen, which will make trying to retrieve the puck or force turnovers against them difficult.
Colorado Avalanche
Colorado is clearly the better team and it’s obvious any way you evaluate it. This series is a No. 2 seed against a No. 11 seed. The Avalanche has some of the best depth in the league
At 5-on-5, the Avalanche have outshot the Coyotes by 55 shots. The Colorado stars are unfettered, and rush the net at will, as we saw in the Game 4 7-1 slaughter that chased Coyotes goaltender, Darcy Kuemper from the net.
Free Arizona Coyotes vs. Colorado Avalanche NHL Prediction:
The Coyotes are living on borrowed time. That they have managed to stave off a sweep is itself an achievement. By every indication, the series has not been close and Colorado wants to close out the series and focus on th next round.
