It has been an excellent start to the 2025-26 NHL season for the Colorado Avalanche.
Heading into an important run of games, the Avalanche are yet to lose in regulation time so far this term.
However, they face a trip to the Blue Jackets before this clash with the Bruins. Colorado have been excellent offensively already this term, scoring 13 goals across their last four games.
Plenty of positives will be taken by the Boston Bruins based on their excellent start to the new campaign.
Boston have won three of their opening four games. However, a response will be expected in Vegas on Thursday after losing 4-3 against the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier this week.
This clash with the Avalanche will be the second of three consecutive road games that the Bruins will play.
| TOTAL | Bruins | Avalanche | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 167 | 85 | 67 | |
| GOALS | 1160 | 624 | 536 |
This will be an intriguing NHL matchup in Colorado on Saturday between two teams that have made excellent starts to the season.
However, it could be worth siding with the trends. The Bruins have won 52.9% of their road games against the Avalanche.
