Vegas Golden Knights vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction
The Avalanche are going to be favored because of their body of work but they have nothing to play for with the Presidents’ Trophy already locked up. The Golden Knights are playing for seeding and have earned points in seven straight games. The Avs have won four straight games against the Golden Knights, but three of those games went beyond regulation. I like getting the more favorable price this time of year with teams that still have stakes on the line. This game is more important for Vegas. I’ll take the plus money.
