Expected score: Chicago Blackhawks 2-3 Colorado Avalanche
Chicago hosts Colorado in an NHL matchup that pits a struggling home side against a confident visitor. The Blackhawks sit 15th with 8 points from 13 games, while the Avalanche occupy 6th with 15 points. This is a clash between two teams moving in opposite directions, and the numbers tell a stark story.
Team form
Chicago Blackhawks
Chicago's recent record is a mess. They've won just 2 of their last 5, beating Pittsburgh 5-3 and St. Louis 4-2, but losses to Dallas (0-4), Carolina (2-5), and the Islanders (1-4) expose a defence that's hemorrhaging goals. Over those five games, they've conceded 3.6 per outing while managing only 2.4 in return. That's a recipe for the basement, and it's exactly where they're headed if this trend continues.
Colorado Avalanche
Colorado is the inverse. Seven wins in 13 games and a 7-3 demolition of Calgary shows teeth. Yes, they lost to Toronto 3-6 and Winnipeg 3-2, but they've also beaten Dallas, Calgary, and St. Louis convincingly. Averaging 4.2 goals scored and 3.0 conceded over their last five, they're playing attacking hockey and defending with discipline. This is a team with momentum.
Head-to-head
No recent head-to-head record is available to draw from.
Key factors
The offensive disparity is the headline. Colorado's 4.2 goals per game over five outings dwarfs Chicago's 2.4. The Blackhawks' leaky defence—3.6 goals conceded per game—will struggle to contain an Avalanche attack that's been prolific. Chicago has shown they can score (the win over Pittsburgh proved that), but consistency is absent. Colorado's road form matters here; they've won two of their last three away from home. Chicago's home record is unreliable: they've lost three of their last four at this venue. The Avalanche have the firepower, the form, and the defensive solidity to exploit a Blackhawks side that looks fragile.
Prediction
Colorado should win this. They're the better team right now—more goals, fewer conceded, and a winning record. Chicago's defence is porous, and their offence hasn't found consistency. The Avalanche have shown they can win on the road and score in bunches. While Chicago can never be ruled out entirely (they beat Pittsburgh convincingly), the weight of evidence favours the visitors. Expect Colorado to control the game and emerge with a victory.
Back Colorado to win. They're clear favourites here, and the underlying form suggests they should be. Chicago is too unreliable defensively to hold back an Avalanche team playing with real purpose.
