Before the start the best price on Colorado Avalanche to win had shortened from 1.555 to 1.515, so the market moved towards this pick after it was published.
Colorado Avalanche take on Los Angeles Kings on 1 October 2026, a fixture listed under NHL, at Ball Arena (Denver). The bookmaker line makes Colorado Avalanche the favourite at 1.555, which is 61.0% once the bookmaker margin is removed, against Los Angeles Kings at 2.432 (39.0%).
The head-to-head record in our data feed, all competitions combined, shows 15 meetings since 2023: Colorado Avalanche won 12 and Los Angeles Kings won 3. The most recent meeting was on 26 April 2026, in the NHL (Play-off). Our records hold no recent completed matches for Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings.
The call is Colorado Avalanche to win, overtime and shootout included, at 61% confidence, which is the margin-free price of the favourite rather than a claim to beat the bookmaker. Line-ups, injuries and the starting goaltenders are not available, so late team news is the main risk to this pick.
