The long NHL calendar for next Thursday will bring some attractive games like the confrontation between Ottawa Senators and Colorado Avalanche, teams that will face at 05:00 pm CST with a huge obligation of winning as both lost their most recent games. With that in mind, even though the bookmakers’ odds are putting Colorado as the big favorite to win, it must be noted that they faced a very tough game against Toronto less than 24 hours before the kickoff of this game.
Meanwhile, Ottawa Senators had an additional resting day to prepare for this game after losing a streak of 6 victories in a row with their 6-3 loss against Montreal Canadiens, a result that reduced the gap between them and the playoffs’ mark to only 4 points. Despite that awful result, they still remark as the third best defensive line in the Atlantic Division after conceding 193 goals throughout the season.
Nonetheless, as Colorado Avalanche lost the opportunity to recover their spot within the top 4 of the Western Conference, their head coach is expected to implement very offensive tactics from the beginning of the game to put in front as soon as possible to comfortably manage the game with an early advantage. For an offensive proposal like that one, MacKinnon is expected to be one of the key players for the Avalanche.
