Ottawa Senators vs Colorado Avalanche prediction

The Colorado Avalanche are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home more times than not, but at some point we have to question this team. The Avs haven’t been able to string together wins, and they’re starting to rack up ugly losses. The Avs aren’t putting money in bettors pockets when they lose to the Blackhawks as massive favorites. With that said, the Ottawa Senators have lost 5 straight games, they don’t win on the road, and they’ve been outscored 12-4 in the last two games against the Avs. Give me the Avalanche and the PL for max betting value.
