One of the most uneven games in the NHL schedule for next Saturday will definitely be the clash between Nashville Predators and Colorado Avalanche, teams from the Central Division whose objectives for this season are totally opposite. Nonetheless, the bookmakers’ odds aren’t really putting the Avalanche as the absolute favorites to win, a fact that could be explained by the irregularity they’ve shown throughout the regular season.
In this matter, it must be noted that Nashville Predators were able to cut off a streak of 6 losses in a row with an unexpected victory over Buffalo Sabres (6-4) just before the NHL stoppage due to the 4 Nations Face-Off. Even so, they still are the worst offensive line in the Central Division with just 144 scored goals, so players like Ryan O’Reilly and Jonathan Marchessault are expected to increase their effectiveness.
On Colorado Avalanche’s side this team is the second-best offensive in the Central Division with 186 scored goals, but even when they’re 5 points above the playoffs mark, they still are vulnerable to losing their playoff spot in case of not increasing their offensive effectiveness. For this game, even when Nathan MacKinnon is expected to be the offensive leader of the Avalanche, he could be far from his best level after the celebration with Canada on the Nations Face-Off.
