Prediction:
While the Avs were playing good hockey prior to their loss at the Blackhawks and at least played well on the defensive end in Chicago, they are only on the fringe of the playoff race in the Western Conference. Needless to say, this is another important game for Colorado. Las Vegas is in a better spot right now and has less rest coming into this contest. The Avs have the talent up front and are properly motivated. I’ll take the home teams at plus money here.
NHL DAILY PREDICTION: COLORADO AVALANCHE +105
