In this Avalanche vs Blackhawks Prediction, the Avalanche are coming as -245 road favorites. The Avalanche have been the best team in hockey this season, but they are on the second leg of a road back-to-back but they are playing with their starter goalie today and are facing a Blackhawks team that has lost two straight games. I simply cannot go against this Avalanche squad unless proven otherwise, so take the Avs on the puckline in this one.
