Colorado Avalanche vs Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/16/25

The Colorado Avalanche head to Ohio’s capital city to battle the Columbus Blue Jackets, looking to stay unbeaten. Colorado has picked up at least 1 point in all 4 games, collecting 7 out of a possible 8 points. The Avalanche have outscored the opposition 7-2 in 2 road games to date, including a 3-1 victory in Buffalo to kick off the 2-game road trip Monday night. The under has cashed in 3 of 4 games, too, just in case you’re interested in same-game parlays. Scott Wedgewood has done a tremendous job holding down the fort while started MacKenzie Blackwood is sidelined due to injury.

For the Blue Jackets, they’ve dropped 2 of 3 games to date, including a 3-2 loss in the home opener against the New Jersey Devils Monday night as the under cashed behind Jet Greaves. While Greaves has played well, with the Jackets allowing just 5 total goals in his 2 starts, they have managed just 3 goals of offensive support in those outings. The best order of business is backing the Avalanche straight up, as it is the safest play, especially if you’re a bit on the conservative side, but don’t forget to also play the under if you’re an SGP player.
