The Colorado Avalanche have steamrolled teams at home this season, winning 20 of 24 games while averaging more than 4.5 goals per game.
My Ducks vs. Avalanche predictions see Colorado’s home success carrying forward tonight.
Let’s dive into my NHL picks for Wednesday, January 21.
Ducks vs Avalanche prediction
Ducks vs Avalanche best bet: Avalanche -1.5 (-120)
The Colorado Avalanche are the most dominant team we’ve seen in years, especially in their own building. They routinely overwhelm opponents with speed, skill, and a seemingly never-ending supply of goals.
They are 16-1-1 over their past 18 games in Colorado. Of those 16 wins, 14 came by at least two goals. Nearly 88% of their home victories over the past couple of months have come with room to spare.
Colorado hosted the Anaheim Ducks during that span and bested them 4-1. That came back in November when the Ducks were otherwise humming and looked like one of the league’s best teams.
They have since fallen off, particularly defensively. The Ducks rank 21st in shots allowed, 22nd in penalty killing percentage, and 31st in goals against. Defending has been a challenge, and their goaltenders have struggled as a result.
Anaheim is also dealing with injuries to key players. Troy Terry is banged up, and Leo Carlsson is out for the foreseeable future with a lower-body injury.
That’ll make it even more difficult to keep up with a team that has averaged 4.75 goals over its last 20 at home.

Ducks vs Avalanche same-game parlay
Sam Malinski continues to pile up the shots without Devon Toews in the lineup. He has attempted a whopping 42 shots over the past six games, clearing in five. That includes four straight hits while logging more than 20 minutes in each.
Rookie Beckett Sennecke is taking on a larger role with a couple of Anaheim’s best weapons injured. He has generated 16 shots on goal over the last three, and his average attempt output over the past 10 games (6.5) is miles above his season rate (4.2).
