Expected score: Colorado Avalanche 4-2 Calgary Flames
Colorado Avalanche host Calgary Flames in an NHL matchup on 1 November 2026, with the visitors looking to bounce back after a difficult run. The Avalanche sit seventh in the standings with 13 points from 12 games, while Calgary occupies 13th place with 10 points from 11 outings. This is a chance for the home side to extend their advantage over a struggling opponent.
Team form
Colorado Avalanche
Colorado have won 3 of their last 5 games, including a commanding 7-3 victory over Calgary just three weeks ago. They scored 21 goals across that five-game stretch while conceding 15, averaging 4.2 goals for and 3.0 against per game. A 6-1 home win over St. Louis and a 3-2 away success at Dallas bookended some inconsistency, but the Avalanche have shown they can put points on the board in volume when they get going.
Calgary Flames
Calgary's recent form is deeply concerning. They have won just one of their last five matches and have been leaking goals at an alarming rate, conceding 25 across that span—an average of 5.0 per game. A 6-2 defeat to Vegas and a 6-1 loss to Seattle highlight a defence in real trouble. Their sole win came 4-2 at Anaheim, but that has been a rare bright spot in what amounts to a defensive crisis. Scoring only 2.4 goals per game over this period compounds the problem.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head history is available from recent meetings, so this matchup will be decided on current form and trajectory alone.
Key factors
Colorado's attacking depth and recent scoring prowess stand out as the primary advantage. Calgary's defensive fragility—conceding 5 goals per game over five outings—is the glaring weakness that shapes this contest. The Avalanche's 7-3 win over Calgary earlier this month demonstrated they can exploit the Flames' vulnerabilities decisively. Calgary will need to tighten up significantly at the back, but there is little in their recent performances to suggest they can do so against an opponent that has shown it can score freely.
Prediction
The Avalanche are clear favourites here. They are the better-placed team in the standings, have superior recent form, and have already beaten Calgary convincingly this season. The Flames' defensive record over their last five games is indefensible, and Colorado's attacking output suggests they will punish that vulnerability. While Calgary could steal a goal or two, the Avalanche should control this game and come away with a comfortable victory.
Colorado Avalanche are strong favourites to win. Expect the home side to dominate and secure a decisive result against a Calgary team in genuine distress defensively.
