The Colorado Avalanche will take on the Buffalo Sabres in NHL action on Monday.
Colorado have had a decent season so far, but their inconsistency has hampered their season. Placed third in the Western Conference Central Division with 27 points, they will look for improvement in it with a better display in the upcoming games.
Philadelphia started their season on a high note but has been poor since then and are coming on the back of a two-game losing run. Placed second last in the Eastern Conference Metropolitan with 21 points and need better performances in future games.

Avalanche vs Flyers Key Stats
Colorado's offense has done well this season with the offensive unit delivery for the team. Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen contributed with over 64 goal involvements this season. Mikko, to his credit, has 14 goals and will be very crucial for them in the upcoming game.
Their defense deserves credit for helping the team come out with great performances on many occasions. The goaltenders have done well in it with over 680 saves and are likely to be impactful in the upcoming game too.
Not scoring enough has hampered their season this season, with only players like Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes having an over-a-goal contribution per game this season.
Their poor defensive unit has further hampered them and the individual work of the goaltenders has failed to make any positive impact. They need changes in their defensive line, starting with the upcoming game to have a more positive impact on the results.
Avalanche vs Flyers Betting Prediction
Colorado have done well on the road and are 36-17 in their last 53 road games. They have done further well on offense and with strong defensive strength, they are likely to make an impact in this game too.
Philadelphia hasn't played well this season and with poor defensive and offensive strength, they are unlikely to make home benefits unutilized. They have struggled against strong teams and Colorado's team strength further increases their struggles in this game too.
Prediction: Take Colorado, -1.5(+130)
