The Colorado Avalanche will look to extend their dominance over the Vancouver Canucks when the Western Conference rivals face off at Rogers Arena on Monday night.
The Avalanche enter the contest having won their last four meetings against the Canucks, while also claiming victory in six of their past ten head-to-head matchups.
Colorado's dynamic duo of Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen have been particularly effective, with MacKinnon recording points in eleven straight road games against Pacific Division opponents.
The Canucks, despite their overall solid season record of 15-9-5, have struggled recently, dropping three of their last four games and showing defensive vulnerabilities at Rogers Arena where they've posted a concerning 5-7-4 home record.
Both teams bring potent offenses to the matchup, with the Avalanche averaging 3.31 goals per game and the Canucks not far behind at 3.21, setting the stage for what could be an explosive offensive showdown.
As these Western Conference competitors prepare to add another chapter to their rivalry, recent form and historical matchups suggest an intriguing battle lies ahead, though the Canucks will need to overcome their recent home ice challenges to change the tide against their Colorado opponents.
