Pittsburgh is starting to find its game. The team has already won points for five matches in a row, and the opponents for the most part were teams located at the top of the table. The Penguins are already in eleventh place, now they have twenty-five points after twenty-three meetings...

Pittsburgh looks good on the road, even taking into account the terrible start of the championship - only three defeats in regulation time in eleven away matches. In the last meeting they managed to beat Canadian Winnipeg with a score of 4-3, and before the third twenty minutes the Penguins were losing 2-3. We can say that the guests are little by little finding their game, I think that they will be able to take points in this meeting...

Colorado Avalanche

Colorado is in second place in the Western Conference table; the Avalanche have thirty-two points after twenty-four meetings. The hosts are now on a five-match winning streak, but Nashville is the only truly strong opponent...

On their own ice, the Avalanche do not always play confident hockey - only five out of nine home games were completed in their favor at the end of regulation time. The hosts have two clear leaders - Rantanen, who has forty points, and MacKinnon, who has already scored thirty-seven points. The match will be the second for Colorado in a day, however, like Pittsburgh, I think that the hosts should not expect an easy victory in this match..

Forecast

Pittsburgh is starting to gain momentum, and it's obvious. I think that in this meeting we will be able to see a spectacular game in which the guests will at least score a point!

✍🏻So, our first free forecast will be for the match between Pittsburgh and Colorado. It was hard to make a choice in favor of one of the teams, but I still made my decision. “Pittsburgh” clearly does not yet show the proper level of play and looks weaker than itself. 6th place in the Capital Division is far from what fans expect from the champions of 15/16, 16/17. Yes, the Penguins really have Hard times and it is not possible to fully get out of the crisis. But, be that as it may, “Pittsburgh” is “Pittsburgh” and you shouldn’t completely discount them. Pittsburgh has one of the deepest and most balanced rosters in the league. Malkin, Crosby, Kessel, Hernqvist, Guentzel, Letang - these guys are professionals in their field.

As a result of the trade with Anaheim, the defense should be strengthened by defenseman Marcus Pettersson. The general manager does not waste words, which is why we have already seen two exchanges. Let's see how things go further. If nothing changes, then most likely it's Sullivan's fault. Of course, Mike Sullivan is good, but it seems to me that he has already given everything he could to the Penguins. Today they will face the Avalanche after two defeats in a row. By the way, less than a week ago the teams already met each other. Then Colorado defeated Pittsburgh with a score of 6-3. As far as I know Pittsburgh, they don’t forgive this, so there won’t be any problems with motivation.

Yes, Colorado is really good this season and very dangerous. 2 days ago I watched the Avalanche’s game very carefully in the match against Detroit. Colorado won, but they allowed their opponents too much. If Pittsburgh were in Detroit’s place, then 4 pucks would definitely have landed. In essence, Colorado is Landeskog, McKinnon, Rantannen and Varlamov. These are the guys who make Colorado's entire game. If they are properly neutralized, then Avalanche will essentially become helpless. I think Pittsburgh will return the favor in full today. The PPG Arena is considered one of the most inconvenient arenas for visiting teams. It will certainly be a difficult game, but the Penguins are quite capable of winning, even outside of regulation time.

Colorado is performing well this season. The club has won many victories over powerful opponents. The guys are also famous for their ability to keep the game under control and score many goals into the opponent’s goal. But everything is not as easy as it seems. After all, today's opponent is also very strong. You should not hope that the guests will easily give up victory in regulation time. Therefore, the site's forecasters offer a bet that the stadium's owners will not lose.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are having an extremely unsuccessful season, the club looked very cool at the start, but now the team is very unstable. In the current regular season, the Penguins have already played 25 matches and scored 25 points, that is, a point per game on average, a very weak result for the champions of 2016 and 2017. Now the Pittsburgh Penguins are in 13th place in the East, 16 points behind the leader. The Penguins score quite a lot, they have 83 goals to their name, but the trouble is that they concede even more than they score, the opponents hit the team’s goal 84 times. On December 2, the Pittsburgh Penguins hosted Philadelphia at home; the game was even in the first two periods, scoring a goal in each. In the third part of the game, the guests hit the Penguins goal twice and won 2-4.

Colorado

“Colorado Avalanche” is simply in fantastic shape, before this season the club was an ordinary middle peasant in the NHL, but now the club is in second position in the West, only two points behind the leader. Colorado Avalanche played 27 games in the current regular season and scored 37 points. The team has scored 99 goals, the best in the Western Conference, and conceded 73. The Colorado Avalanche have lost only one match in their last eight matches in the championship. On December 3, the Avs played away against Detroit, the guests opened the scoring playing on the power play in the fifth minute of the second period, a minute before the final siren, the Colorado Avalanche scored the second goal and won 0-2. The club is very good at being able to open up the defense of almost any team and often scores on counter attacks.

Statistics and personal meetings

The teams have already had to play each other this season, it was November 29, less than a week ago. In that meeting, the Colorado Avalanche led the game 3-0, the Penguins were able to even the score. In the third period, the Avs scored a fourth goal, then two into an empty net, for a 6-3 victory for Colorado. The last two face-to-face meetings went by 5.5 total.

My forecast

Today we will have a super match, the Pittsburgh Penguins will host the Colorado Avalanche at home. The owners are extremely unstable, it is unclear what can be expected from them. As for the Avs, the team is very good and just five days ago they already beat the Penguins. I won’t get into the outcome here; it’s best to play the totals. The Pittsburgh Penguins concede a lot at home and score a lot, so I want to bet on the total by 6 more, I expect a very productive game, I think the clubs will show a real abundance of goals.

Malkin and Crosby against the highest scoring line in the NHL. The outcome of the match will definitely be decided at the opponent's goal, so mistakes in defense will play a decisive role. Colorado's defense is more reliable, and this will determine the final result. We suggest you read the pre-match schedules and our forecast.

Team form

“Pittsburgh” had just begun to rise from the bottom of the standings when it lost twice again – to today’s opponent 3:6 and “Philadelphia” 2:4. On home ice The team is not doing very well, with only five wins in thirteen matches.

Colorado is confidently in second place in the Western Conference, with a total of 16 wins, ten of them away. The results at foreign venues are very good, the best in the league. In their last eight matches, the Avalanche have won seven times, including away games six times in a row. In regulation time they have not lost in 11 matches.

Mikko Rantanen leads the league in scoring (45 points), with Nathan MacKinnon two points behind and second. McKinnon's line is incredibly dangerous and the best in the NHL. The center forward himself was named the second star of November.

Statistics of Russians

Evgeniy Malkin – 30 points (9+21), the best result in the team. The utility coefficient is “-8”.

Nikita Zadorov – 5 points (3+2). The utility coefficient is “+9”.

Vladislav Kamenev – 5 points (2+3). Utility coefficient “+1”. Interesting fact– Vladislav has the most best percentage faceoffs won among all Russian center forwards in the NHL (Malkin, Kuznetsov, Namestnikov, Anisimov, Barbashev).

Semyon Varlamov – 10 wins in 18 matches. On average 2.23 goals conceded per game. 93% of saved shots. In the last match (2:0 with Detroit), Semyon was recognized as the first star; he kept a clean sheet for the first time this season and the 24th time in his career.

History of personal meetings

The teams met each other 16 times, with Pittsburgh winning nine. The goal difference is also in his favor 47:40. In the previous match (November 29), Colorado won 6:3. Last season, the Avalanche won two out of two.

Forecast and bets

We are somewhat surprised that some bookmakers give preference to Pittsburgh in this match and suggest taking advantage of this fact. In our opinion, taking into account the general statistics and the statistics of the away game, as well as the impressions of the quality of the game, Colorado is still the favorite in the game. Possessing the most offensive line in the NHL, the Avalanche will cause a lot of problems for the Penguins' not-so-reliable defense. A Semyon Varlamov Lately gives no grounds for criticism.
