Colorado Avalanche vs Utah Mammoth Prediction
The Mammoth are having a successful season and should be up for this one at home. However, we’re getting the AVS at a cheap price. You don’t see this often. Yes, the Avalanche entered the break in shaky form, but for nearly the entire season, they’ve been the best team in the league. I’ll trust the sample size and bet the Avs will get back on track. You won’t see these prices often, folks. Give me the Avalanche and the cheap price.
