Colorado Avalanche vs Nashville Predators Prediction
The Predators have played their best hockey at home, where they have 5 wins, but they haven’t played in six days. Athletes are creatures of habit, and the long layoff can break a rhythm and lead to sluggish play as guys hope to find their footing. Regardless, the Predators are in awful form overall. The Avalanche have 6 wins on the road this season and have lost just once since October 28. I can only side with the Avs, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
