Colorado Avalanche vs. Nashville Predators Prediction
I’m on the Avalanche here. The Avalanche have been inconsistent, but as of late, the Predators have been consistently poor and they’re just not a team I’m interested in backing right now. Nashville at home at this price is tempting, but the price is where it is for a reason. Give me Colorado.
