Avalanche’s Offense Looks Good on Paper

The Avalanche offense looks good on paper, and last season, they finished with a 50-25-7 record. The offense was elite last season and the offense looks like they are going to be really good again this season. Nathan MacKinnon was the start last season and he finished with 51 goals and 89 assists so far this season. Gabriel Landeskog is expected to return at some point this season but they aren’t ready for him to come back yet. The biggest issue for the Avs was the defense and goaltending. They need to find a way to get better goaltending or this is going to be a long season. 

Golden Knights Look Different

The Golden Knights look a whole lot different this season after finishing last year with a 45-29-8 record. Jonathan Marchessault scored 42 goals last year for the Golden Knights but he’s off to the Nashville Predators and not having him is a big loss. Chandler Stephenson and Michael Amadio combined for 30 goals last season but they have both also moved onto new teams. The good news for the Golden Knights is they have Tomas Hertl and he’s going to need to have a strong season here. In this game, the Golden Knights are going to need some of those other guys to step up to make up for the lost production. 

Colorado Avalanche vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

Give me the Golden Knights at home to get their season off to a fast start. Colorado’s defense was a major issue last year, and it’s going to be much of the same here. Vegas is going to have no issue running up the score, and that is going to be the difference here. Colorado is going to really struggle here to get any sort of offense going here, and Vegas is going to get the job done. Back the Golden Knights on the money line.
