The Vancouver Canucks (37-14-6) and Colorado Avalanche (34-18-4) are lined up for a Tuesday night showdown in Denver. Faceoff at Ball Arena is slated for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Canucks vs. Avalanche odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
Vancouver is on the 2nd leg of a 3-games-in-4-days road trip that opened Monday afternoon with a 10-7 defeat at Minnesota. The Canucks, who were -123 favorites, coughed up a mid-2nd quarter 4-1 lead in the loss.
Colorado defeated the Arizona Coyotes 4-3 Sunday as a big -245 home favorite. The Avs hope it’s the start of a rebound from a shaky 1-4-1 road trip coming out of the All-Star break Feb. 5-15. Tuesday is Colorado’s 2nd of 4 home game in 5 contests between Sunday and Feb. 27. The Aves are 21-5-0 at home this season.
