Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction & Picks, November 7, 2026

The Detroit Red Wings have been on a bit of a roll lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They also show a strong defensive game, blocking more shots than the league average, which can really make a difference in tight matchups. While the Colorado Avalanche have also had some success, they've been less aggressive in landing hits, which might give the Red Wings an opportunity to take control of the game. This matchup is going to be close, but Detroit has some solid momentum and the odds look good for them as an underdog. The main risk here is that the Avalanche are playing at home, which can make it tougher for any visiting team. Still, I like the chances of the Red Wings pulling off a win in this one.

Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Red Wings: Detroit Red Wings +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (-130)

Detroit Red Wings have been strong lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They're playing well on both ends, blocking more shots per game than the league average. On the other hand, Colorado Avalanche has won 5 of their last 10 but has shown some weakness with fewer hits and blocked shots than usual. Betting on Detroit Red Wings to win the third period gives us a good chance. They have been more aggressive in both hitting and defending, which can make a big difference late in the game. However, it's worth noting that these two teams are closely matched right now, so it could go either way.

Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Red Wings: Detroit Red Wings +1.5 Puck Line (-130)

Detroit has been playing well lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They also block more shots than the average team, which helps keep their opponent's scoring down. On top of that, they land a lot of hits, showing they are tough on the ice and ready for a fight. Colorado has also had a decent run with 5 wins in their last 10, but they don't hit as much as Detroit. The teams are close in form, making this a tricky matchup. Betting on Detroit to keep it within 1.5 goals gives you a good chance, especially with the way they've been playing. Just remember, the game can go either way.

Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Red Wings: Devon Toews Over 0.5 Points (+124)

The Colorado Avalanche play at home against the Detroit Red Wings, and this should be an exciting matchup. Devon Toews has been a solid contributor for the Avalanche, and he has a good chance to grab a point in this game. The Avalanche have scored often enough lately, winning 5 of their last 10 games, which bodes well for Toews to make an impact. On the other hand, the Red Wings have a strong defense, blocking more shots than the league average. However, that might not be enough to completely shut down Toews, especially playing at home where the Avalanche tend to perform better. Just keep in mind that with both teams playing well, it could be a tight game.

Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Red Wings: Jaden Schwartz Over 0.5 Shots on Goal (-500)

The Colorado Avalanche have been solid lately, winning 5 out of their last 10 games, but they face a tough Detroit Red Wings team that has won 6 of their last 10. Jaden Schwartz is known for getting his shots off, and with the Avalanche at home, he's in a great spot to find the back of the net. With the way Schwartz plays, betting on him to have over 0.5 shots on goal is a strong choice. The biggest risk is that both teams are closely matched, and the Red Wings are blocking a good number of shots this season. Still, Schwartz has a good chance to make his mark in this game.

Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Red Wings: Justin Faulk Over 1.5 Points (+1060)

The Colorado Avalanche are playing at home against the Detroit Red Wings, and both teams have been showing some decent scoring lately. Justin Faulk has been a key player, and the bet on him to get over 1.5 points seems like a fun pick. The Avalanche have won 5 of their last 10 games, while the Red Wings have done a bit better with 6 wins in the same stretch. With both teams looking to score, this could be a back-and-forth game, giving Faulk a good chance to rack up points. One thing to keep in mind is that while Faulk has potential, he's also facing a Red Wings team that blocks a lot of shots and hits more than the league average. That could make it tougher for him to find those scoring opportunities. Still, the odds are tempting, especially with the game being played on home ice at Ball Arena.
