Puck Line PickBest Bet
COL Avalanche -1.5(-105)

The Ottawa Senators are continuing their road trip with a stop in Colorado to face the Avalanche. After suffering a 3-1 loss to Utah last night, they will want to put that game behind them. Although they didn’t play poorly, their goaltending fell short of expectations. There’s a good chance we’ll see Mads Sogaard making his first start of the season, but this would likely be a downgrade. The 25-year-old has a save percentage of .887 in the NHL and may be up against one of the hottest offenses in the league.

On the other hand, the Avalanche have experienced a rare situation this season by losing 2 games in a row for the first time. Both of those losses came while playing on the road, so they remain perfect in regulation at home. Every team faces challenges, and this could be the adversity Colorado is experiencing. The Avs are an elite team, especially at home, and they should start strong. If they can consistently get pucks on net, good things are likely to happen. We should expect them to cover the puck line without much difficulty.

Senators vs Avalanche prediction: Colorado -1.5 (-105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
