Carolina Hurricanes vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/23/25

The Carolina Hurricanes and Colorado avalanche are set for an intriguing matchup on Thursday night at Ball Arena. This will be the Hurricanes’ 5th game of a 6-game road trip, and going to Denver’s elevation could be problematic at this point in the trip. After scoring 13 goals over the first 3 games of the trip, Carolina scored just a single goal in its last outing against the Vegas Golden Knights. Colorado goaltender Scott Wedgewood has been fantastic while Mackenzie Blackwood is out with an injury, and should be able to limit the damage from Carolina in this one. The Avalanche have allowed the fewest goals in the NHL this season with 13.

Offensively, Colorado has ranks 6th in the league with 3.43 goals per game. They can score in a hurry, but Carolina’s defense-first mentality could give the ‘Avs some trouble. Nothing comes easy against Rod Brind’Amour’s team. After losing 4-1 in their last game, look for the Hurricanes to come out with a strong defensive structure against Nathan MacKinnon and company. Make it a small play, but consider the under in this one.
