Only regulation loss came Oct. 25 vs. Boston.
Points in 5 straight (3–0–2), including a 3–2 win over Tampa Bay.

Series History
Last 20 meetings: Avalanche lead 13–7 (75–67 goal differential).
Last season: Teams split 2–2, with both clubs winning once at home and once on the road.
Edmonton has won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head matchups.
Betting Trends:
Avalanche are 6th in NHL scoring (50 goals) and 4th in goals allowed (35).
Oilers are 12th in scoring (46 goals) but have struggled defensively, allowing late collapses.
Over has hit in 3 of last 5 Avalanche games; Oilers games have leaned high-scoring as well.
Key Takeaway
This is a marquee Western Conference clash: Colorado’s balanced attack (MacKinnon, Makar, Necas) against Edmonton’s superstar-driven offense (McDavid, Draisaitl). The Avalanche are the steadier team, but the Oilers’ desperation and home crowd could tilt momentum. Expect a fast-paced, high-scoring game with playoff-level intensity.
