Colorado is 6-2 in their last 8 games overall and 18-8 in their last 26 road games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games as a favorite. Arizona is 1-4 in their last 5 home games and 3-9 in their last 12 Friday games while the over is 11-4 in their last 15 games against a team with a winning record. The favorite is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between these two teams.

I think you could make a case for either side as the Avs are the better team but the Coyotes are the ones that hold all of the value. However, I just can’t get myself there enough to trust Arizona, even at home as I don’t know if the Coyotes can keep up offensively with the firepower that the Avs bring to the table. I’ll back the Avalanche to win this one in regulation to get the price down on Colorado here.
