My Game Prediction and Betting Angle
Line: Colorado -230 | O/U: 6.5
I feel confident backing the Avalanche in this spot, even with the heavy -230 juice. Colorado has been an absolute wagon this season, and their 3-0 win over Nashville showed they can lock it down defensively just as well as they can score. While Connor Bedard is always a threat to ruin a spread, the Blackhawks’ recent defensive collapse against Buffalo worries me. I think the Avs’ depth, led by the red-hot Necas and MacKinnon, will be too much for Chicago’s blue line.
I’m taking Colorado to win 5-2, covering the Puck Line and hitting the OVER on 6.5 goals.
