Colorado Avalanche vs Florida Panthers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 01/04/26

The Colorado Avalanche improved their winning streak on Saturday to 10 games. They will be putting it on the line Sunday as they are in south Florida to take on the Panthers. The Panthers are coming off a loss to the New York Rangers in the winter classic on Friday night. The Avalanche can’t be stopped right now. They have only lost two games in regulation time all season long. Nathan MacKinnon has four consecutive multi-point games, and he has back-to-back four-point games. He is leading the NHL with 74 points. As a team they are averaging 4.08 goals on the season, which is best in the NHL. Not only are they impressive offensively, they are the best defensive team in the league as well. They are averaging 2.18 goals against per game.

The Panthers will need to tap into their Stanley Cup winning ways to take down the Avalanche. However, without Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov in the lineup, I don’t think they have what it takes to beat the Avs. Give me the road team in this one.
