Nashville Predators Form

Nashville head to Colorado on the back of a couple of victories, and having now win nine of their last 13 games.

The Predators began this good run with a three-game win streak before Christmas Day, which was then ended by a 3-2 defeat at St Louis on December 27.

They rebounded with road wins at Utah, 4-3, and Vegas, 4-2, before answering a 4-1 defeat in Seattle with a 4-3 success when they visited Calgary.

Nashville then wrapped up that road trip with a 6-2 loss in Edmonton, before failing to build on a 2-1 win at home to the New York Islanders as they lost 3-0 to Chicago.

The Predators wrapped up that home stand with a couple of wins though, beating Washington 3-2 and Edmonton 4-3 in overtime.

Colorado Avalanche Form

Colorado enter this matchup with the best record in hockey, but having cooled off with three defeats in their last five games.

The Avalanche have put together a couple of double-digit win streaks during the regular season, with one of them beginning in early December.

They ended 2025 riding a nine-game winning run, and made it 10-in-a-row in their first outing of 2026 as they downed Carolina on the road, 5-3.

Colorado’s run was finally ended by a 2-1 defeat at Florida, before they moved on to Tampa for a 4-2 loss to the Lightning.

The Avalanche responded at home as they beat Ottawa 8-2 and Columbus 4-0, but they failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 4-3 in overtime to Toronto last time out.

Verdict

Colorado’s form has dipped in recent days, but we are not about to start overlooking them.

The Avalanche have been dominant at home, winning 17 of the last 18, and most of those victories have come via a two-goal margin at the very least.
