Washington Capitals vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction & Betting Tips - NHL
by Joseph King | in NHL Predictions
The Washington Capitals return home to the Capital One Arena looking to put an end to a three game losing streak when they host the defending champion Colorado Avalanche. The Caps have now slumped to a record of seven wins, 12 losses and three overtime losses following their overtime defeat to St. Louis. They’ll hope to get back to winning ways but will face tough opposition in the form of the Avalanche who have now won five of their last six and shot up to sixth in the Western Conference standings. The Avs hold a record of nine wins, six losses and one overtime loss in the 2022/23 campaign so far.

Washington Capitals - Colorado Avalanche: Form Analysis
Colorado were able to overcome the Hurricanes 3-2 in overtime on Thursday to kickoff their three game road trip with a win. The offense is catching fire with 25 goals over their last six games which has acted as the catalyst for their current uptick in form. On the other side, the Capitals could find it tough to score against this Avs defense that has only allowed 10 goals over their last five games. Washington have only picked up two wins over their last 10 games with a combination of struggling offense and leaky defense making it tough to put wins on the board.

Washington Capitals & Colorado Avalanche Squad Analysis
The Avs offense will be powered by Mikko Rantanen and MVP candidate Nathan MacKinnon who have a total of 15 goals and 34 assists combined this season. With the excellent Cale Makar behind them providing an offensive spark from defense with three goals and 15 assists, it’s easy to see why many sportsbooks still have Colorado as the current betting favorites to retain their Stanley Cup title. For the Capitals, the legendary Alex Ovechkin leads the scoring charts with nine goals at eight assists but the offense has struggled as a whole, scoring only 26 goals over the last 10 games.

Our Washington Capitals vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction
We’re going to back the Colorado Avalanche to continue their strong run of form and get the win in this game. The Avs look to be recuperating the form which saw them finish the 2021/22 season as the highest scoring team in the league. With the Capitals defense struggling mightily at the moment, a matchup against this red-hot Avs team is the last thing they would have wanted. Expect Colorado’s dangerous attacking threats to feast on this leaky Caps defense in what should be another win for the away team.
