Two top teams go head-to-head in the NHL on Thursday as the Ottawa Senators host the Colorado Avalanche at Canadian Tire Centre. Colorado has just kicked off a four-game road trip with a big win and will try to build on it Thursday night.
A sluggish start saw the Avalanche go down 1-0 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday, but they responded impressively and led by two goals early in the second period. Ultimately, the Avalanche had no problem taking down Toronto, winning 6-3.
Earning points on the road has been tough for Colorado in 2026-27, making Tuesday night's effort even more impressive. Having closed out last week with a shutout win over Detroit, Jared Bednar’s team has a chance to record its second three-game winning streak of the season.
Ottawa blew its opportunity to reach three straight wins for the second time this term on Tuesday, when they suffered heartbreak in a 3-2 overtime loss to Washington. They also lost Nick Cousins to injury, marking another blow to the frontline. So far, the Senators have coped impressively with injuries, but they will eventually catch up on them.

Our Ottawa Senators vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction
After a small blip last week, the Avalanche have bounced back with impressive results, scoring 10 goals and posting one shutout in two games. They can build further momentum against an injury-hit team.
The Senators beat Colorado on home ice last season, but their overall record in this matchup is poor. In 2024-25 alone, the Avalanche scored 12 goals in two games against Ottawa. With Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar on the squad, the team’s offense can explode any minute.
Our prediction for Ottawa Senators vs. Colorado Avalanche: Avalanche to win.
