The Ottawa Senators (24-21-7) and the Colorado Avalanche (35-6-9) will meet for the 2nd time this month. The Avalanche defended their home ice on the 8th of the month with a big 8-2 victory. Josh Manson scored twice and assisted on 2 other goals, while Nathan MacKinnon added a goal and 3 assists. The game was ultimately decided in the 2nd period, where the Avalanche extended their 2-0 lead to 8-1.

Since their last meeting, the Avalanche have not played well. They lost 4 of their last 7, but have been successful in avoiding a 3-game skid on 2 separate occasions. The latest was a 4-1 win over Toronto after having lost to the Ducks and Flyers. Now, they get an opportunity to win back-to-back games for just the 2nd time this month.

Ottawa has not fared well either since the last meeting. They have gone just 4-5 over the 9 games since losing to Colorado. Like the Avs, the Senators avoided a 3-game losing streak twice. They are coming off a dominating 7-1 performance over Vegas at home on Sunday. Stephen Halliday and Dylan Cozens each scored twice in the win.  

While the Avalanche has not been playing well lately, they get a chance to pick up another win here on the road against an opponent that they dismantled just a couple of weeks ago.

Our Ottawa Senators vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction

The recent history between these two organizations has been dominated by the Avalanche. Even with them not playing their best hockey lately, we fully expect them to pick up another win over Ottawa here on the road. Also, Sogaard will be back in the net for the Senators. He faced them when they met earlier this month and allowed 5 goals on just 16 shots.
