Avalanche vs Predators Prediction

The Avalanche have looked vulnerable more than usual through their first handful of games, so you can make a case for opponents. However, the Predators can’t find consistent offense, and it’s why they’re in a rough losing stretch. A team like the Avs will take advantage of that. Sure, the Preds have had previous success against the Avalanche, but their current form doesn’t suggest they have the horses to keep up. Give me the Avs and the PL for max betting value.
