Calgary Flames will be looking for huge improvement as they welcome Colorado Avalanche to the Scotiabank Saddledome for their NHL match. It's been a woeful start to the season for the Flames, who have lost their opening three matches of the season. They face a side in The Avs who have won their opening two matches. The Avalance look to have bounced back from their Western Conference Final loss last season to Vegas Golden Knights and have secured two excellent wins against Los Angeles Kings and St Louis Blues.

Before this fixture, The Avs will face Winnepeg Jets which they're favorites to win. They're also clear favorites to beat The Flames whose struggles look set to continue. Recent fixtures between these two sides have all ended in Avalanche victories. Colorado have won the last six head-to-heads and they're our pick to do so once more.

For our prediction, though, we're looking at the Over/Under market. We're likely to see a few goals scored in this one in a comfortable Avalanche win.

Our Calgary Flames vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction

Beating Calgary Flames should be a reasonably simple task for Colorado Avalanche. They've started the season well and hold a superb record against the Flames in recent seasons. Flames have conceded plenty all ready this season and this, coupled with the fact that The Avs scored 12 across their opening two fixtures, leads us to predict we'll see a fair few goals here too.
