Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 03/08/26

The Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche wrap up their 4-game regular-season series on Sunday, although it certainly wouldn’t be shocking to see these teams hook up in the playoffs later this spring. Minnesota has won 2 of the first 3 meetings, including a 5-2 victory in the first matchup in Denver on February 26. While the over barely came through in that outing, the under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 meetings in this series. The under is 1-0-2 in the past 3 games for the Wild, too.

For the Avalanche, they’ll have revenge on their minds heading into this battle in the Mile High City. Colorado has won 3 in a row, allowing just 4 total goals, or 1.33 goals per game, since that 5-2 loss to Minnesota just over a week ago. The under is 2-0-1 in the past 3 games and 5-2-1 across the previous 8 outings. Colorado goaltenders Mac Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood have each allowed 2 or fewer goals in 7 of the past 8 games. Let’s go low on the total, especially since the clocks sprung ahead 1 hour. The local start time was early as it is, at noon CT.

Wild vs Avalanche prediction: Under 6.5 (-120) at time of publishing. Playable to -140.
