Colorado is almost unbeatable at home

The Colorado Avalanche have been very strong at the Ball Arena this season. In addition, Nathan MacKinnon can tie the longest streak of home games in a row in which a player has managed to score since the beginning of the season. Since the 1995/96 season, Mario Lemieux’s longest streak to date is 31 games. MacKinnon has now scored in 30 duels in a row and can once again come a little closer to Wayne Gretzky’s absolute record of 40 games in a row.

Detroit may drop to 8th place

The Red Wings are tied for 6th in the Eastern Conference standings, just one point ahead of Tampa Bay and Philadelphia. In case of a setback, they could drop as low as 8th in the table. In addition, Detroit is not doing well on the ice of Avalanche, not only leaving with defeats, but also with a large number of goals.

Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Red Wings odds

In the case of the bookmakers, the home team is the clear favorite. This is evidenced by the mutual games on the ice of the Avalanche. You can bet on Colorado to win at odds of 1.76.

Betting tip – Mikko Rantanen will score a goal

The Finnish goal scorer already knows what it’s like to reach the 50-goal mark and is one of the Avalanche’s top scorers this season, with 31 goals only MacKinnon is better. In the game against a weak Detroit, he could once again benefit from the interplay with the Canadian and extend his scoring account. Rantanen could be one of the goal scorers in these duels with the Red Wings. You can bet on Rantanen to score at odds of 2.20.
