Colorado Avalanche and the Chicago Blackhawks head-to-head record

The Colorado Avalanche have a huge advantage over the Chicago Blackhawks in this matchup. They've won four of the last five meetings between these two teams, with three shutouts and a mean of 4.6 goals per game. The last time Chicago beat Colorado was in December 2023, a 3-2 win. Since then, they have had a hard time getting past their defense. The Avalanche had a strong power play (37.9%), and Chicago had problems with both attack and penalty kill. This means that Colorado is likely to take control again, particularly if Justus Annunen starts because he has a good GAA and save percentage. Meanwhile, Chicago might look to Connor Bedard as well as Teuvo Teravainen to spark their offense, but they'll have to beat the Avalanche's recent defense record towards them to stay in the game.
