Avalanche vs Flames Prediction

The Avalanche won both meetings against the Flames this season, both at home by 3-1 and 9-2 and are 9-1 in their last 10 meetings.

In this Avalanche vs Flames Prediction, the Avalanche are coming as -155 road favorites. The Avalanche have already won the President’s Trophy this season and the Flames have been eliminated from the playoffs so there is no incentive for either team here. The Avalanche have gone under in their last six games and the Flames in their last three and I don’t expect both teams to suddenly catch fire, as Colorado will probably rest some players and keep its strength for the upcoming playoffs. Take the under 6.5.
