Mikko Rantanen leads Colorado with 23 goals, Nathan MacKinnon has 33 assists and Nazem Kadri has 132 shots on goal.

The Avalanche are 17-5 in their last 22 home games and 45-22 in their last 67 overall. The Coyotes are 4-0 in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest and 5-1 in their last 6 overall. The over is 5-1 in Coyotes last 6 overall. The over is 10-4 in Avalanche last 14 overall. The Coyotes are 1-8 in the last 9 meetings in Colorado and 2-7 in the last 9 meetings. The home team is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings. The favorite is 35-16 in the last 51 meetings.
The Arizona Coyotes have cooled off just as quickly as they've heated up, and now they're running into a team that's on fire. The Colorado Avalanche have been one of the more consistent teams in the league from the start and they've played some of their best hockey at home. The Avalanche have also won five of the last seven meetings against the Coyotes, which includes outscoring them 9-3 a couple of weeks ago. Give me the Avs and the PL for max betting value.
