Toronto vs Colorado Prediction 11 November 2026
🔊 A curious coincidence: Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche played games with identical scores before meeting each other. For Toronto, though, it was a loss to New Jersey; for the visitors, a win over Detroit. The difference in mood is clear. The Maple Leafs have dropped to 11th in the Eastern Conference after losing several important players. Colorado, by contrast, are fifth in the West, and their top players just put on quite a show on the power play. Still, Toronto won the first meeting of the season. Can the visitors get revenge?
Nine goals in Denver
📊 In October, the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Colorado Avalanche by a surprisingly convincing 6-3 score on Colorado’s home ice. William Nylander and Auston Matthews led the way with two goals each. Nick Blankenburg and Easton Cowan added a goal apiece, while Sergei Bobrovsky made 30 saves. Nathan MacKinnon scored twice for the hosts, but even that was not enough. The game fits the broader pattern between these teams: they have combined for at least six goals in five of their last seven meetings.
Head-to-head statistics Toronto - Colorado
Turnovers are becoming a serious problem
Toronto have dropped to 11th in the Eastern Conference with 18 points from 19 games. The Maple Leafs have eight wins, and their recent results have only added to the concern. They first lost to Montreal (2:4), then failed to score at all against New Jersey. Injuries make matters worse: John Tavares, Max Domi and Kirill Marchenko are out, and defenceman Morgan Rielly joined them on November 7. With so many players missing, the burden on Matthews and Nylander grows considerably.
In their last game against the Devils, the hosts kept the score at 0:0 for a long time, but conceded in the second period after the visitors won a faceoff. Timo Meier found room to shoot and beat Anthony Stolarz, then added a second goal later. Toronto pulled their goalie late in an attempt to get back into the game, but conceded another into an empty net. The Canadian team managed just 21 shots on goal, and Connor Hellebuyck recorded a shutout. The final score of (0:4) was another reminder of the team’s problems in attack.
Match Results: Toronto Maple Leafs
The majority decided the outcome of the match
Colorado Avalanche are fifth in the Western Conference with 22 points from 18 games. After an uneven start to the season, the Denver team are gradually improving their position: they now have ten wins, and their latest game against Detroit went particularly well. Martin Necas recorded four points (2+2), Nathan MacKinnon scored his tenth goal of the season, and Cale Makar also found the net. The power play deserves particular attention: the Avalanche scored three times with the man advantage.
In the first period against Detroit, though, the home team had to rely above all on Mackenzie Blackwood. The goalie stopped 13 shots, including two dangerous attempts from close range. Colorado took control after the intermission. Necas opened the scoring on a rebound, and MacKinnon doubled the lead with a shot from the left faceoff circle. Necas scored his second in the third period, and Makar made it 4-0. Blackwood finished with 27 saves and a shutout.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Toronto and Colorado had almost mirror-image results in their latest games: the Canadian side lost, while the Denver side won by the same score. However, I would not take those results as a sign that their upcoming game will be low-scoring. The Maple Leafs have several key players out, especially on defence, and Colorado have just scored three power-play goals. Toronto also scored six goals against Colorado in October. The head-to-head record points to goals, too: over 5.5 goals has landed in five of their last seven meetings. In my view, these teams have a good chance of combining for more than five goals again. My pick is over 5.5 goals.
