Anaheim Ducks vs. Colorado Avalanche Prediction

I’m on the Avalanche here. I know it’s a hefty price and this kind of price tag with the Ducks is where all the value has been this season. However, the Avalanche are a different beast at home and they’re not a team I’m really looking to step in front of if I can help it. The Avalanche are no joke and a lot of Anaheim’s recent success has been back at home, so going into this Lions’ Den in Colorado could prove problematic here. Give me Colorado.
