It wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to say that Colorado is the play Thursday when they visit Ottawa. The Avs are in the hunt for a Central division crown and seem to be an almost definite staple for the postseason.
Colorado is also has a -200 price tag and for reasons known only to the hockey Gods have lost 5 of the last 6 to Ottawa. The Avs haven’t won in Ottawa since 2016 either.

Ottawa would have a nice payout at +175, especially considering their success the last few years vs. the Avs. Can you really back a Senators team that has just two wins in their last 15 though?
Colorado Avalanche
Colorado has a great matchup here as their #1 scoring offense goes up against a Senators defense that is absolutely leaking as of late. The Senators have allowed 4+ goals in 6 of their last 13. Colorado has 5+ in 3 of the last 4.
The Avs have been on the road both games since returning from the all star break – and with mixed results. They have a 3-6 loss at Philly that came after an 11 day layoff. The Avs then won 6-1 in Buffalo on Tuesday.
The biggest question for Thursday night’s game is what is up with the Avs’ struggles vs. Ottawa. The teams will meet twice in the next 6 days and Colorado has 4 games during that span. This is the 1st time they’ve met this season though.
Philipp Grubauer has been in net for both of Colorado’s game since the break. He looked rusty on Saturday allowing 5 goals on 27 shots to Philadelphia. Grubauer bounced back Tuesday though, holding Buffalo to just one score.
Ottawa Senators
Can Ottawa pull another one over on Colorado? The Senators have gone 1-4 since returning from the all-star break, but on the bright side three of those games have gone to OT.
The Senators have also bucked down on defense a bit, allowing 2 goals or less in 3 of their last 6 overall. Ottawa is also just the 4th worst team in the league this season, so there is some improvement there.
Unfortunately the Ottawa offense has scored just 3 goals in 2 games so far in February. If this game does turn into a high scoring affair, it’s hard to see the Senators having the fire power to hang with Colorado.
There’s a lot of pressure on goaltender Craig Anderson if he gets the nod Thursday. Anderson has lost 6 of his last 7 starts. Marcus Hogberg has fared a little better, but Colorado is going to score in this one, that’s a given.
