Colorado Avalanche at Carolina Hurricanes Preview & Picks

Carolina are backed to end a three-game losing skid.

Despite some recent losses the Hurricanes have been solid at home this season, while Colorado have been beaten a bunch of times on the road.

  • Carolina Hurricanes are 9-3 at home this season
  • Colorado Avalanche are 7-5 on the road so far
  • The Over has cashed in each of the last 3 meetings
  • The Over has hit in each of Colorado's last 4 road games

Head To Head

  • Colorado Avalanche lead the all-time series 85-55-24
  • Colorado Avalanche won 6-4 when the two teams last met on November 9

Colorado Avalanche Form

Colorado head to Carolina looking to build some momentum after winning for only the second time in their last five games.

The Avalanche enjoyed a solid run of form during the middle of November as they won six times in a seven-game spell.

That run featured two three-game win streaks, but they have struggled to get back on track since the 8-2 loss at Tampa Bay ended the second winning run.

Colorado rebounded with a shootout victory over Vegas, only to then lose 5-3 in Dallas and 4-1 at home to Edmonton.

The Avalanche avoided a third straight defeat though, as they edged Buffalo in a nine-goal thriller, 5-4.

Carolina Hurricanes Form

Carolina go into this matchup having now lost each of their last three games to see their record slip to 16-8-1.

The Hurricanes opened the season with a superb run of form as they rebounded from an opening-day defeat to win 14 of their first 18 games.

They have cooled off since though, starting with back-to-back defeats as they lost 4-2 in New Jersey and via a shootout at Columbus.

Carolina rallied with a couple of home wins, beating Dallas 6-3 and the New York Rangers 4-3, but they were unable to keep that run going.

The Hurricanes lost back-to-back meetings with Florida, 6-3 at home and 6-0 on the road, before losing 4-2 at home to Seattle.

Verdict

Carolina have lost the last three, but they have done their best work at home so far this season.

Colorado, on the other hand, have already lost five times on their travels, so we are backing the Hurricanes to make that six.
