Colorado Avalanche vs Ottawa Senators Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/28/26

The Colorado Avalanche and Ottawa Senators face off as part of a quiet night in the NHL. These intra-conference opponents met earlier in the month, when Colorado absolutely dominated in an 8-2 win. Ottawa will aim for revenge, but that will be difficult because Colorado is truly elite. Here is an Avalanche vs Senators prediction.

Following an unlikely run in which the Avs went 1-2-2 in 5 games, they have stormed back and are coming off a dominant 4-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. They then had short travel to Ottawa, along with 2 full days of rest. I expect them to have their legs and be hungry to start another incredible streak. Meanwhile, Ottawa halted its own skid (1-2-1) in a 7-1 thumping of the Vegas Golden Knights, but this is a challenge I do not expect the Sens to handle. They have won just 12 of 26 home games this season and 10 of 23 against Western Conference. Colorado scores at the league’s highest rate of 3.94 per game, and their third-best penalty kill of 84.1% is nearly 12% better than Ottawa’s third-to-last rate of 72.2%. The Avalanche have a star-studded roster, even with the absence of captain Gabriel Landeskog and Devon Toews. For this Avalanche vs Senators pick, let’s take the NHL’s best in Colorado to win in regulation.
