Colorado Avalanche vs. New Jersey Devils Prediction

I’m on the Avalanche here. I get the case to be made for the Devils who are red hot right now, but we’re getting one of the best teams in the league at a plus money price because of a couple of recent stumbles. I think New Jersey’s been hot out of the gate but are also playing slightly above their pay grade here so give me the Avalanche here.
