Colorado Avalanche vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction

The Avalanche are on the end of a back-to-back, but that doesn’t matter. The Avs are the hottest team in the league and not a team I’m betting against until they cool off. The Avs have won 8 straight games and have lost once since October 27. The Avalanche are rolling on both sides of the ice. Not a team you should be looking to fade. Give me the Avs yet again.
