Colorado vs Calgary Prediction 1 November 2026
🔊 Colorado Avalanche are still searching for their former consistency, though Jared Bednar’s side certainly have no issues finding the back of the net. Recently, the Avalanche put five past New Jersey, with four of those goals coming in the third period. Calgary Flames are also showing plenty of firepower. After being routed by Edmonton, the Flames bounced back with a goal-fest against Seattle. These teams already met earlier in October, treating fans to a ten-goal thriller. Will Denver witness another high-scoring spectacle?
Ten goals combined
📊 The first meeting of the current season saw the Colorado Avalanche cruise to a commanding 7-3 victory. Three Avalanche players-Devon Toews, Cale Makar, and Jaden Schwartz-each netted a brace. Nathan MacKinnon contributed a goal and two assists, while Fyodor Svechkov also chipped in with an assist. The Calgary Flames responded with goals from Adam Klapka, Mikael Backlund, and Kevin Bahl. For the Flames, it was yet another painful defeat early in the campaign.
Head-to-head statistics Colorado - Calgary
Plenty of goals, but wins remain elusive
Colorado Avalanche have managed just four wins in their last nine outings, despite remaining one of the NHL’s most prolific offenses. On average, the Avalanche are scoring 4.2 goals per game and converting 13.7% of their shots-both figures rank among the league’s top five. However, their attack has looked less convincing of late: they’ve only scored more than three goals in three of those recent contests. Their power play also leaves some questions, capitalizing on just 19.5% of opportunities.
Against New Jersey, Jared Bednar’s side struggled to pull ahead for much of the night. The score was level after two periods, but Colorado Avalanche exploded for four goals in the final twenty minutes to secure a 5-2 victory. Nazem Kadri netted the game-winner, with Parker Kelly, Nathan MacKinnon, and Jaden Schwartz also finding the back of the net. MacKenzie Blackwood turned aside 20 shots, including four crucial saves during a 3-on-5 penalty kill. In total, 11 different Avalanche skaters registered points in the win.

The Flames burn even brighter on home ice.
Calgary Flames are gradually recovering from their disappointing start to the season. Their recent home stand produced four consecutive victories, during which the Flames allowed an average of just 1.5 goals per game. However, things get trickier on the road: their last trip to Edmonton ended in a shutout defeat (0-4). Still, Ryan Huska’s special teams have been performing well. Calgary convert 33.3% of their power play opportunities-third-best in the NHL-and kill off 82.9% of their penalties.
After the setback in Edmonton, the Flames bounced back against Seattle with a commanding 6-2 win. The second period was especially impressive, as the hosts netted three goals in less than five minutes. Matt Coronato racked up four points, Joel Farabee chipped in with a goal and two assists, and Dustin Wolf stopped 21 shots. Calgary scored twice on the power play, extending their home winning streak to five games. However, replicating that kind of performance in Denver against Colorado Avalanche will be a much tougher challenge than playing in front of their home crowd.

⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
Colorado Avalanche are averaging over four goals per game, but even that level of firepower hasn’t always been enough to secure victories. Still, fans of high-scoring hockey have little to complain about. In six of their last seven home games, the Avalanche have seen the total go over 6.5 goals, with four straight such outings. Calgary Flames are also capable of keeping up the pace: two of their last three contests have hit that same total. These teams recently combined for a ten-goal shootout. Given both sides’ current scoring trends, I’m expecting another open, attacking game. My pick: over 6.5 total goals.
Will this prediction come true?
