Flames vs Avalanche Prediction

I’m on the Avalanche in this game. I just feel like the Avalanche are the more stable team in this matchup, as Calgary is a team that normally plays their best and thrives when they’re playing at home, but they’ve now lost three of their last four games at the Saddledome. Colorado has had their blips here and there where they kind of lose focus, but I still think that in the end, the Avalanche are the better team with better consistency throughout the lineup and in goal as well as Dustin Wolf has been shaky lately for the Flames and I flat out don’t trust Dan Vladar when he starts. MacKenzie Blackwood’s been on a tear for the Avalanche and either way, I think Colorado gets the job done in this game. Give me Colorado on the road.
