In their last three games, the Avalanche have demonstrated a robust offensive front. Their most recent victory against the Oilers was hard-fought, with a 3-2 win in overtime. They managed an impressive 43 shots on goal and capitalized on an overtime opportunity to secure the win. Despite winning only 37 percent of faceoffs, they showed tenacity by blocking 18 shots and delivering 33 hits.


The game prior saw them triumph over the Canucks with a score of 4-3. This time around, they improved their shooting percentage to 12 percent and were particularly effective during power plays, scoring two goals out of four opportunities.

Their performance against the Flames was even more dominant as they cruised to a commanding 6-2 victory. A remarkable second period saw them net five goals, underlining their capability to seize control of a game swiftly. With an overall shooting percentage of 16 percent and winning over half of faceoffs at even strength that night, it's clear that when they gain momentum, they're tough to stop.


While these victories are encouraging signs for Colorado fans, it's crucial not to underestimate the Predators who will be looking for ways to disrupt this momentum.
