The final game on NHL opening night features the clash between the Los Angeles Kings and Colorado Avalanche, teams that will meet next Tuesday at 08:30 pm CST at Crypto.com Arena. For this game, the bookmakers’ odds don’t have a clear favorite, but the reality is that the Colorado Avalanche is expected to dominate the head-to-head against the LA Kings by the end of the regular season.
When looking at both teams’ recent performances, the LA Kings played seven games during the preseason against teams from the Central and Pacific Divisions. Nonetheless, their level showed a significant decrease during their final games, during which they couldn’t defeat the Utah Mammoth, nor the Anaheim Ducks in regulation time. Taking these trends into consideration, there will be high pressure on players like Alex Laferriere, Adrian Kempe, and Kevin Fiala, who need to carry the offense throughout the season.
As for the Colorado Avalanche, this team is again expected to be one of the most dominant in the Western Conference throughout the regular season due to the impressive form of Nathan MacKinnon. However, this team still owes consistency to their fans during the final rounds of the playoffs, so for this season, players like Brock Nelson and Zakhar Bardakov are the clear examples of the experience-youth formula that the Avalanche are testing for this season.
