Avalanche vs Wild Prediction
The Avalanche are 6-2 in their 8 meetings against the Wild and are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings in Minnesota.
In this Avalanche vs Wild Prediction, the Avalanche are coming as -170 road favorites. The Avalanche have been by far the best team in hockey this season and are currently running in insane winning streak of 10 consecutive wins. They are up against the second hottest team in hockey right now, as the Wild have won six straight. Still the Avs have a superior offense and defense and have shutout their opponents in three straight games and I expect them to keep rolling today as well. Take the Avalanche on the moneyline on the road in this one.
