Colorado Avalanche (+120) vs Minnesota Wild
There is something smelly about this line. The Avalanche and Wild have trended in opposite directions lately, and not in the respective direction in which the line indicates. The Wild have 1 win in their last 5 games, and 3 wins in their last 10. Over that 10 game span, Minnesota was outscored 34-21 for a -13 goal differential and average loss of 3.4-2.1. If there is a silver lining for the Wild, it's that they largely played strong opponents during that stretch. Regardless of the quality of the opponent, they still have to take care of business if they are going to make the playoffs and go on a deep run. Lately, the Wild have not taken care of business.
The Avalanche is 8-2-2 in their last 12 games. They will be on the 2nd game of back to backs. But that really shouldn't affect the matchup and current form advantages they have over the Wild. Colorado beat Minnesota 6-3 in their lone head to head matchup this season. Based on recent results of each team, a repeat performance would not be the most surprising outcome in the world. In that case, we get to take advantage of Vegas' plus money odds for the Avs outright. That is just too good of value to pass up on the Avalanche. Maybe Minnesota proves Vegas right. But the Avalanche are trending upward and the Wild are trending downward. This +120 number outright feels too good to not play.
