The Avalanche have beaten the Capitals four times in their last five meetings. The Avalanche scored a lot more goals than the Capitals. They beat the Capitals by scores of 6-3 on the 14th of February 2024, as well as 6-2 on the 25th of January 2024, showing how strong their offense was. A 3-2 victory in January of 2023 and a 4-0 defeat in November 2022 were also close games that Colorado won. The Capitals did beat Colorado in a close game in April 2022, though, showing that they can beat them when they execute their best.

However, Washington has an excellent road record and has been tough in close games in the past so they could keep it close.
