Montreal Canadiens vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction

Another NHL game on Saturday’s card where the line is absurd. Yes, the Avs are the better team and they’ve been fantastic at home. However, the Habs are having a nice week, and they’ve shown they can win on the road, where they have 7 wins. The Canadiens have also had success against the Avalanche lately, winning 3 of the last 4 games. While both teams played yesterday, the Habs had a comfortable win where they didn’t sweat, while the Avs played beyond regulation. We’re getting two times our money with a hot Montreal side. I’ll take it.
