Avalanche vs Golden Knights Prediction

The Golden Knights are playing the better hockey right now, and getting them in the underdog role is appealing. However, you don’t often get the Avs as this soft of a favorite at home, and they’re still a tough out on their home ice where they have 25 wins. Also, the home team has won six straight games between the Golden Knights and Avs.

After some tough recent losses, this is a spot where the Avalanche should get up for a playoff-type atmosphere and make a statement against a team they could very well face in the playoffs. Give me the Avs and the cheap price.
