Ottawa vs Colorado Prediction 13 November 2026
🔊 Ottawa host Colorado again at Canadian Tire Centre. On the Avalanche’s last visit, the hosts finally ended a long losing streak in this matchup. The Senators also have reason for optimism now: they have earned points in three straight games, although they let a win slip away against Washington in their most recent outing. Colorado, meanwhile, have recovered from two setbacks and started scoring again. Six different Avalanche players found the net in Toronto. The visitors have plenty of attacking options, but Ottawa have already shown they can handle this opponent.
Revenge after seven defeats
📊 Last season, the teams traded home wins, with both games producing plenty of goals. Colorado first thrashed Ottawa 8-2, converting two of their six power plays. The Senators failed to convert any of their three opportunities. In Canada, however, things went differently. The hosts won 5-2 and ended a seven-game losing streak against the Avalanche. Five different players scored, including Tim Stützle, who also had an assist. Artem Zub recorded two assists. Despite Ottawa’s revenge win, Colorado still held a 10-7 advantage in goals across the two games.
Head-to-head statistics Ottawa - Colorado
Two points dropped late on
Ottawa Senators are sixth in the Eastern Conference with 24 points. Travis Green’s team beat Buffalo and Utah before losing to Washington in overtime. They also have plenty of personnel problems. Linus Ullmark is missing games, leaving Samuel Ersson to shoulder the main workload. Andre Burakovsky, Warren Foegele and William Eklund are also on the injury list. There is particular concern over Nick Cousins, who was injured in the last game and could not finish it.
Against Washington, the Senators conceded after just 35 seconds, but the second period turned the game around completely. Ridly Greig equalised, and Hayden Hodgson put the hosts ahead. Tom Chabot assisted on both goals. Ottawa outshot their opponents 17-2 in that period, while Washington went more than twenty minutes without a shot on goal. A win looked close. However, Pierre-Luc Dubois drew Washington level in the third period, and Cole Hutson won it for the visitors in the second minute of overtime (3-2). Ersson made 14 saves.
Match Results: Ottawa Senators
Six goals from six players
After losses to Columbus and Nashville, Colorado quickly got back on track. Jared Bednar’s team won two games in a row, with Mackenzie Blackwood helping them to victory on both occasions. However, all is not well with the roster: Josh Manson is out long-term with an ankle injury, and Zachary L’Heureux is also absent. There are plenty of options in attack, though. Against Toronto, 13 Avalanche players recorded points, while Nathan MacKinnon had no points but won 15 of 23 faceoffs.
The visitors conceded first against the Maple Leafs, but Brock Nelson and Gabriel Landeskog turned the score in Colorado’s favour before the first intermission. Devon Toews then extended the lead, but Toronto drew level early in the third period. The score remained tied for just 51 seconds. Landeskog scored his second goal of the game, the winner, off a pass from Nazem Kadri. Artturi Lehkonen and Martin Necas made it 6-3 late on. Blackwood made 28 saves, while Cale Makar recorded two assists.
Match Results: Colorado Avalanche
First-Period Prediction
In 15 of Ottawa Senators' last 16 games, fewer than 2.5 goals were scored in the first period. The first period produced more than 1.5 goals in five consecutive Colorado Avalanche away games, but both trends are compatible with a two-goal period. We pick First-Period Total Goals Under 2.5 at odds of 1.33.
Total Goals Prediction
Over 4.5 goals has landed in 8 of Ottawa Senators’ last 9 games. Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games: over their last ten games, Ottawa have averaged 3.6 goals scored and 3.4 goals allowed, while Colorado Avalanche have averaged 4 and 3.2 respectively. We pick Over 4.5 Total Goals at odds of 1.3.
Reliable Bet
Ottawa Senators have covered the (+2.5) handicap at home in 13 of their last 15 NHL games. This line wins if the hosts do not lose by three goals or more. We pick the Ottawa Senators (+2.5) handicap at odds of 1.2.
*Odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
Do not expect a cautious game from these two. Last season, the teams scored 17 goals between them in two meetings, and both games finished comfortably over 5.5 goals. This was no one-off: that total has been surpassed in ten consecutive head-to-head games. Recent results are consistent with the trend, too. Ottawa have scored eight goals in their last three games, while Colorado have just scored six against Toronto. The Senators also conceded against Washington, even after a period in which they had a huge advantage in shots. My pick is Over 5.5 Goals.
