Colorado vs Nashville Prediction 6 November 2026
π Just a couple of weeks ago, Nashville Predators routed Colorado Avalanche on home ice. Now the teams meet in Denver. Itβs an interesting situation: the Predators have won two games in a row for the first time this season, while the Avalanche unexpectedly gave up seven goals to Columbus after three straight wins. Only two points separate the teams, and both are currently in playoff spots. The upcoming game gives the Avalanche a chance to get even, and Nashville will try to show that their recent win over a division rival was no fluke.
Six goals and two two-goal performances
π The first meeting of the season ended in a heavy defeat for Colorado Avalanche. In Nashville, the hosts scored six goals and allowed their opponents just two (6:2). Ryan OβReilly and Steven Stamkos each scored twice and added an assist. Filip Forsberg had three points (1+2), while Roman Josi recorded two assists. Artturi Lehkonen and Devon Toews scored for the Avalanche. Martin Necas had two assists, but even that was not enough to prevent a heavy loss.
Head-to-head statistics Colorado - Nashville
Five goals are no guarantee of victory
Colorado have yet to close the gap on the Western Conferenceβs top three, although Jared Bednarβs team have regularly put up big numbers on offense. The Avalanche have scored five goals in three of their last four games. After three straight wins, it seemed they could establish themselves among the leaders, but their latest road game ended in a painful defeat. The problem was not so much creating chances as defending their own net. Their opponents had too many opportunities to shoot from dangerous areas.
Trouble began in Columbus after just 28 seconds, when Mathieu Olivier opened the scoring. The hosts doubled their lead midway through the first period, but Cale Makar answered with a shot off a pass from Nathan MacKinnon. From there, Coloradoβs defence all but fell apart. The Blue Jackets scored four goals in the second period, and the Avalanche managed only a power-play goal from Nazem Kadri in reply. The 7-2 loss was especially hard to take after three straight wins. MacKinnon finished with two assists but could not save his team.

Two wins for the first time this season
Nashville are gradually recovering from a difficult start to the season. For the first time this regular season, Andrew Brunetteβs team have won two games in a row, and both opponents were strong: Tampa and Carolina. The Predators scored on at least 12% of their shots in both games. Their defence still raises questions, however. The Predators allowed four goals in three of their previous four games. Their penalty kill, though, has been reliable: they have stopped 89.4% of opponentsβ power plays, ranking third in the NHL.
Against Carolina, Nashville played noticeably tighter defensively than in previous games. Nick Perbix opened the scoring in the first period, and Roman Josi doubled the lead after the intermission. The Hurricanes pulled one back, but the hosts did not let them build on it. Adam EdstrΓΆm scored his sixth goal of the season, and Ross Colton finished the scoring with an empty-net goal (4-1). Juuse Saros made 29 saves, and Filip Forsberg had two assists. Shane Wright, who recently arrived from Seattle, also made his debut. For the Predators, the win was important confirmation that they can handle strong opponents.

Prediction on the Result
Colorado Avalanche have not lost in regulation in 11 of their last 12 home games against Nashville Predators. This season, Colorado Avalanche have six home wins; Nashville Predators have one road win. The head-to-head results add another reason for the pick: weβre taking Colorado Avalanche not to lose in regulation at odds of 1.3.
Total Goals Prediction
Colorado Avalanche have scored more than 2.5 goals in six of their last seven home games against Nashville Predators. At home this season, Colorado Avalanche are averaging 5 goals per game, and Nashville Predators are allowing 3.8 on the road. Colorado Avalanche have also scored fewer than 4.5 goals in six straight games against Nashville Predators - a result that is compatible with the selected threshold. We pick Colorado Avalanche team total over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.35.
*Odds are approximate and may vary between sportsbooks.
βοΈ Editor's Pick
Colorado's recent heavy defeat may give the impression that the rematch will be high-scoring too. But we're interested in a specific stretch of the game. In seven of their last eight head-to-head games, the teams scored no more than two goals in the second period. Nashville have another reason to play more cautiously after beating Carolina: the Predators allowed just one goal, and Juuse Saros stopped 29 shots. Colorado, meanwhile, need to correct their mistakes after allowing seven goals against Columbus. So even with both teams scoring freely, three goals in a single 20-minute period are far from certain. My pick - second-period total under 2.5 goals.
