Arizona Coyotes vs Colorado Avalanche prediction
Despite the Colorado Avalanche recent losing stretch and the defense taking a nose dive, they’re still 20-5-0 on their home ice this season. This will the Avs first home game since January 26, so this game will be a welcome sight. The Arizona Coyotes just can’t get out of their own way, and the offense cant be trusted on the road. The Avalanche are a tough team to fade when they’re playing at the Ball Arena, and the home team has won 7 of the last 8 meetings between these two teams. Give me the Avs and the PL for max betting value.
