Can the Avalanche Surge Past the Predators at Bridgestone Arena?

As the Colorado Avalanche gear up to face off against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on March 2nd, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent trend of success. The Avalanche have been showcasing a strong performance in their past few games, with a notable victory over the Coyotes where they scored four goals and demonstrated solid defense with a 57 percent faceoff win rate.

The team's offensive prowess was also on display against the Capitals, where they netted an impressive six goals. Their shooting accuracy has been commendable, hitting a 16 percent shooting percentage in that game. This offensive firepower is something that fans can look forward to as they take on the Predators.


However, it's not just about scoring; goaltending has also been key for Colorado. In both victories against Arizona and Washington, Avalanche goalies maintained a save percentage of 100 percent at even strength. This level of goaltending will be crucial as they go up against Nashville's attackers.

While there are many positives to draw from these performances, it is worth noting that in their game against Tampa Bay Lightning, despite scoring three times and achieving a powerplay goal conversion rate of 33 percent, it wasn't enough to secure a win.


As we approach this upcoming match-up, fans should expect an intense battle between two competitive teams. The Avalanche will need to maintain their high-scoring efficiency while ensuring that their defense remains impenetrable if they wish to come out victorious once again.

The game is scheduled for March 2nd at Bridgestone Arena and will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN+ and locally on BSSO channel 646-1 for home viewers and ALT channel 681 for those cheering from away. Puck drop is set for just after sunset local time – don't miss what promises to be an exhilarating encounter!
