The game between the Colorado Avalanche and the Toronto Maple Leafs is scheduled to start at 3:00 AM UTC on January 13, 2026. This corresponds to 10:00 PM Eastern Time on January 12, 2026 and 8:00 PM Mountain Time in Denver.

The match will be played at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, the Avalanche’s home rink. Ball Arena is a modern multi-purpose venue with a hockey capacity of around 18,000 fans, known for its high altitude environment and one of the strongest home-ice advantages in the NHL due to Colorado’s current 17-game home win streak.

Given Colorado’s league-best 33-4-7 record and their 17 consecutive home victories, the prediction leans toward an Avalanche win, with fair odds in the 1.65–1.75 range implying roughly a 57–61% implied probability. Toronto’s offensive talent led by Auston Matthews always gives them upset potential at moneyline odds above 2.10, but Colorado’s depth, current form, and goaltending edge at home tilt the value slightly toward the Avalanche.

In recent head-to-head meetings over the last few seasons, results have been relatively balanced, with Colorado holding a slight edge overall, particularly in games played in Denver. Historically, these matchups tend to be high-event, with several recent clashes seeing both teams generate plenty of scoring chances and total goals often pushing into the 6+ range, which bettors may consider when evaluating goal and total markets.
