Colorado Avalanche and Anaheim Ducks head-to-head record
For the last five times that the Colorado Avalanche and the Anaheim Ducks have faced each other, Colorado has won four of those five games. Notably, their best game was on the 16th of November 2023, when they easily beat the Avalanche 8–2. Their most recent game, on December 6th, 2023, finished in a close 3-2 victory for the Avalanche. The only time Anaheim won was on the third of December 2023, in an intense 4-3 game. The Avalanche are having a rough start to the season, especially in goal, so Anaheim might try to take advantage of their defense problems. But Colorado has won this game before, and Nathan MacKinnon is off to a good start. If they can tighten up their defense, they could have the edge.
