Colorado Avalanche vs Florida Panthers Prediction

I’m going to back Colorado here. I think this is going to be an outstanding game, and head-to-head trends actually favor Florida here, with the road team and underdog winning 4 of the last 5 and Florida’s won 4 of their last 5 trips to Colorado. However, the Panthers’ stumbles as of late are a bit concerning as they came at home which is where they’ve played their better hockey this season, the Panthers have scored just 5 goals in their last 9 games overall and Colorado’s goaltending is playing really well right now. I just think that’s going to be the difference here so give me the Avalanche at home in this one.
