In five last matches Avalanche has missed 23 times but could shoot 19 pucks. The top scorers of the tournament – Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen are playing for Denver.
Avalanche is used to win on Pepsi Center Arena but now they obviously have some problems in defense.

Barry Trotz’s players don’t score a lot of pucks as they have scored only 12 goals in five last games. At the same time, Islanders often lose away matches. Recently they were beaten in Pittsburgh (2:6) and a little earlier on Madison Square Garden (0:5).

Match prediction
The defense of Colorado is not in the most optimum form and “hungry” Islanders can win.
At the same time, the hosts have mind-blowing attack which will surely upset the goalkeeper of Islanders.
We think that in the match at least six pucks will be thrown.
