The Avalanche host a Predators team that already beat them 6-2 this season, with two points separating the clubs.
Colorado gets a chance to answer its 6-2 loss at Nashville when the teams meet Thursday, Nov. 5, at 9:30 p.m. ET at Ball Arena. The Avalanche are 9-6-1 with 19 points, two ahead of Nashville’s 6-4-5, and rank 10th in the power index against the Predators’ 18th. Colorado is 3-2 in its last five and coming off a 2-7 loss, while Nashville has won two straight and is 3-2 over its last five. Nathan MacKinnon leads Colorado with 27 points in 16 games; Nashville counters with Filip Forsberg’s 19 points in 15 games and Juuse Saros’ .908 save percentage. Colorado’s 3.1-per-game edge in shots on goal will matter only if it can turn pressure into chances past Nashville’s netminding.
