On Sunday, the Colorado Avalanche head to Anaheim, California to take on the Ducks in the Honda Center. This will be the second time these two teams have met this season — the first time, the Avalanche stole a win in overtime 4-3.
Colorado Avalanche
This season has been up and down for the Colorado Avalanche, yet the team is still right in the playoff mix in the Central Division, just five points behind the third-place St. Louis Blues. Every game matters, and Colorado will certainly treat Sunday’s game as one with merit.

For Colorado, this season’s success has come from its goal-scoring. Ranked 8th in the NHL with 3.31 goals per game, a lot of the offense has been generated by center Nathan MacKinnon. With 33 goals and 49 assists, MacKinnon has been huge for his team.
So has wingers Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog. Rantanen is tied with MacKinnon in points (82) and has 28 goals on the year. Landeskog has 33 goals and 35 assists.
In goal, Semyon Varlamov will be the guy on Sunday. Despite just an 18-16-9 record, Varlamov has been a solid starter. He boasts a .911 and a 2.83 goals against average.
Anaheim Ducks
Sitting 7th in the Pacific Division, this hasn’t been a great season for the Ducks. The team has lost five straight, including being shut out twice, most recently on March 1st against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The zeroes in the scoring column have been pretty common for the Ducks, as the team has been shut out eight teams this season. That’s led to the league-worst goals per game (2.18).
Anaheim doesn’t have a single 20-goal scorer, with winger Jakob Silfverberg leading the team with 16 goals. In fact, the points leader is Ryan Getzlaf with 39. That’s 43 points lower than the two players tied for points leader in Colorado.
With no big offensive threat, it’ll be tough for the Ducks to get a win on Sunday.
NHL Betting Trends:
- COL is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games
- The OVER is 6-4 in COL last 10 games
- COL is 6-2 SU in last 8 games
- UNDER is 4-1 in ANA last 5 games
Free Colorado Avalanche vs. Anaheim Ducks NHL Prediction:
Colorado doesn’t have a fantastic defense, but it shouldn’t matter against the worst offense in the NHL. The Avs should find ways to score, especially with MacKinnon on the ice. Look for Colorado to get the road win.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Colorado -1.5
Anaheim could easily get shut out here. Even if they don’t, I like the Avs to put up some good numbers. I’ll take Colorado against the spread.
