Boston Bruins and Colorado Avalanche head-to-head record
In their last five games against each other, the Boston Bruins defeated the Colorado Avalanche four times. This includes a strong 4-0 win on the eighth of December in 2022 and a 5-1 win just days before that. In their latest game on the 17th of October 2024, the Bruins won decisively with a score of 5-3. The Avalanche won only one game, beating Boston 4-3 on January 9, 2024. This shows they can compete with Boston if they compete well. Boston has done well against Colorado recently and is better at winning face-offs, placing 9th while Colorado is 31st. This could give the Bruins an advantage, particularly if their attack can take advantage of Colorado's average penalty kill, which stands 15th. However, Colorado's strength and MacKinnon's skill in creating plays might make this a tough game.
