Boston Bruins at Colorado Avalanche Pick & Prediction – 10/16/2024
The Boston Bruins are set to face off against the Colorado Avalanche on October 16, 2024, at 9:30 pm ET. The DraftKings Sportsbook moneyline odds favor the Avalanche as -122 favorites, with the Bruins as underdogs at +102.

It looks to be an exciting matchup between these two teams, with fans eager to see who will come out on top in this highly anticipated game.
Bruins Off to a Mediocre Start
Mediocrity has been the worst that has best described the Boston Bruins early in the 2024-25 NHL season. They are 2-2-0 on the year, with 15 goals scored and 15 goals allowed on the season. That is mediocrity in its purest form and the Bruins will need to play better hockey to avoid dropping below the .500 mark and into the negatives in goal differential after this contest. Of course, simply not playing the defending champion Florida Panthers might help, but the Boston defense allowing four or more goals in three of their four games is a concern no matter who they have faced.
Avalanche Off to a Worse Start
While the Bruins have been mediocre early on, the Colorado Avalanche have been a disaster. They have lost all three of their games to start this season, giving up 20 goals across those three contests, including an eight spot in their opener against the Vegas Golden Knights. Colorado's defense simply cannot afford to play this poorly for them to be serious title contenders this season and their improvement needs to start with tonight's game against the Bruins.
Bruins vs Avalanche Prediction
Our best bet for Bruins vs Avalanche is for the Colorado Avalanche to break their season-opening losing streak by getting a much-needed win at home. It just isn't sustainable to expect Colorado to keep giving up so many goals and they should be able to tighten things up defensively against a Bruins team that has been hit or miss offensively themselves. Look for the Avs to resemble the team that was so dominant at home a season ago with a resounding victory here.
