Colorado at Utah

February 25, 2026
img9:00 PM Eastern

There was only one goal scored when Colorado and Utah last met on Dec. 23 in a 1-0 home win for the Avalanche. Don't expect much scoring in this matchup either, with some players returning from the Winter Olympics in Italy. There will be a strong rust factor for the other players, since they haven't played in three weeks. Utah remains without one of its top offensive weapons, center Logan Cooley. He is out with a lower-body injury. The Mammoth have given up an average of two goals per game during their last three games. Utah goalie Karel Vejmelka had a strong January. He was in Italy for the Olympics, but did not play. So he will be fresh. Colorado has surrendered only four goals in its last three games. The Avalanche gives up the fewest goals per game at 2.4 and also ranks No. 2 in killing penalties. Take the UNDER.
