Chicago vs Colorado Prediction 3 November 2026
🔊 Chicago Blackhawks have slipped back to the bottom of the Central Division. Over their last five games, the Blackhawks have managed just one win, although they came close to upsetting Boston in a recent outing. Meanwhile, Colorado Avalanche are enjoying a much stronger run of form, having claimed victory in three of their last four games-including back-to-back performances where they netted five goals each. The contrast in results is clear, and last season’s meetings with the Denver side hardly left Chicago with fond memories. Still, even with Colorado’s clear advantage, not every stretch of this matchup is likely to be high-scoring.
No chance for redemption
📊 Last regular season, Colorado Avalanche swept all three games against the Chicago Blackhawks in regulation, outscoring them 8-2 overall. In their February clash, Gavin Brindley netted the game-winner, while Cale Makar recorded a brace. The final meeting of the series saw Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas take center stage-MacKinnon delivered three assists, while Necas matched that points tally with a goal and two assists. Over the course of those three matchups, the Blackhawks simply had no answer for Colorado’s relentless attack.
Head-to-head statistics Chicago - Colorado
Victory was within reach.
Chicago Blackhawks remain deep in their rebuilding phase, and the results continue to reflect those growing pains. The team sits at the bottom of the Central Division, with just four wins against nine losses. On average, the Blackhawks score 2.2 goals per game while conceding around 3.8. Still, there are signs of individual progress. Connor Bedard has registered points in five consecutive games, and Patrick Kane has tallied seven assists over his last eight appearances. The penalty kill has also shown improvement, as Chicago have successfully neutralized 15 of their opponents’ last 17 power-play opportunities.
Against Boston, the Blackhawks delivered one of their strongest offensive performances in recent memory. Anton Frondell netted a brace, opening the scoring on the power play off a feed from Kane-marking the veteran’s 900th NHL assist. In the third period, Ryan Greene and Bedard extended the visitors’ lead to two goals. With less than seven minutes remaining, Chicago appeared poised for victory, but the hosts managed to tie it up with just 12 seconds left in regulation before sealing the win in overtime. The Blackhawks ultimately fell short, 4-5.
Match Results: Chicago Blackhawks
Four assists from Makar
Colorado Avalanche have picked up 17 points from 14 games, keeping themselves among the frontrunners in the Central Division. Jared Bednar’s side have claimed three wins in their last four outings, with their offense looking particularly sharp-New Jersey and Calgary each conceded five goals to the Avalanche. On average, Colorado are scoring over four goals per game, and it’s not just the forwards making an impact. Cale Makar is consistently joining the attack, while Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas are regularly finding ways onto the scoresheet.
In their most recent clash with Calgary, the Avalanche put the game out of reach before the midway point of the second period. MacKinnon opened the scoring, Necas converted on the power play, and then Artturi Lehkonen and Brock Nelson stretched the lead to four. The visitors tried to mount a comeback, cutting the deficit to two, but Lehkonen quickly responded with his second goal of the night. The result-a 5-2 Colorado win. Makar finished with four assists, while Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 25 of 27 shots. After the game, Bednar singled out his goaltender’s performance, noting several key saves in difficult moments.
Match Results: Colorado Avalanche
First Period Prediction
Colorado Avalanche have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in the first period in 13 of their last 14 NHL road games. On average, Colorado net 0.5 goals in the opening period away from home, while Chicago Blackhawks concede an average of 1.0 goals at home in the first. The smart play here is Colorado Avalanche under 1.5 goals in the first period at odds of 1.37.
Total Prediction
Colorado Avalanche have scored under 3.5 goals in seven of their last eight NHL road games. Their season average away from home stands at 3.17 goals per game, dropping to 2.5 in recent outings. Meanwhile, Chicago Blackhawks concede an average of 3.13 goals on home ice. Given these stats, the individual total for Colorado Avalanche under 3.5 goals at odds of 1.75 looks like a solid pick.
Reliable Bet
Colorado Avalanche have scored under 3.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 NHL road games. The individual total under 4 goals line pays out if they score three or fewer, and is voided if they hit exactly four. On average, Colorado Avalanche have netted just 2.5 goals per game in their recent away fixtures. Our pick: Colorado Avalanche Individual Total Under 4 Goals at odds of 1.43.

⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
It’s easy to expect a high-scoring affair when Chicago Blackhawks take on Colorado Avalanche. The Blackhawks recently put four past Boston, while the Avalanche have netted five goals in each of their last two outings. However, my focus is on the final period. In 13 of their last 14 head-to-head clashes, these teams have combined for no more than two goals in the third period. In Chicago, this bet has hit seven times in a row. And it’s not just about their rivalry: the Blackhawks’ last five home games have also seen under 2.5 goals scored in the third. So, even with both sides showing offensive firepower, I’m backing this particular segment. My pick: under 2.5 goals in the third period.
