Blackhawks vs Avalanche Prediction 

Colorado rolls into this matchup looking for their sixth straight win and they have scored at least five goals in four of their last five games. The Avalanche are 21-10-2 at home this year, while the Blackhawks are 7-20-5 on the road. Chicago has actually played pretty competitively over the last two weeks, but they have a brutal road record this season. The Blackhawks were dominated by the Predators in their last game, but they got some very good goaltending and were able to pick up the overtime point. This Colorado team is playing at a very high level right now, but there isn’t much value on the Avalanche here. I will take a look at the over here, as Colorado’s offense has been scoring in bunches. Take the over.
