The Vancouver Canucks (6-10-3) visit the Colorado Avalanche (11-5-1) at Ball Arena Wednesday. Puck drop is set for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Canucks vs. Avalanche'odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Canucks started the season 0-5-2, and while their recent play hasn’t been stellar it’s at least been a step up from that. Vancouver lost 5-4 to the Vegas Golden Knights Monday, ending a mini 2-game win streak. Goaltending continues to be an issue for the Canucks who have allowed 4 or more goals in 8 of their last 10 games.
The Avalanche got off to a shaky start, posting a 4-4-1 record in October. However, the defending Stanley Cup champs have righted the ship by winning 7 of 8 games in November. Colorado is on a 3-game win streak following a 3-2 shootout win at the Dallas Stars Monday.
