Chicago Blackhawks vs Colorado Avalanche: Colorado Avalanche -1.5 Puck Line (+110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Colorado Avalanche have been looking strong lately, winning 5 of their last 10 games. They know how to put pressure on their opponents and have a solid defense, blocking an average of 14 shots per game. On the other hand, the Chicago Blackhawks have struggled, winning just 3 of their last 10. They've also been less aggressive, landing fewer hits per game compared to the league average.
Given these trends, I like the Avalanche to win by at least two goals. The Blackhawks' recent form raises some concern, making this a tight matchup. Still, the Avalanche's better performance should help them cover the puck line.
Chicago Blackhawks vs Colorado Avalanche: Over 6.5 Total Goals (+105)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Chicago Blackhawks and Colorado Avalanche both have a tough time defending lately, which could lead to a high-scoring game. Chicago has struggled to win, managing just three victories in their last ten games. They also give up quite a few shots, which might open the door for Colorado to find the back of the net more easily.
Both teams average around 14 blocks per game, and neither has been hitting as hard as most teams in the league. With the combined total expected to be close to six goals, betting on over 6.5 goals could be a smart move. Just remember, with both teams finding it hard to keep the puck out, there's a solid chance it could go either way.
Chicago Blackhawks vs Colorado Avalanche: Chicago Blackhawks +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (-125)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Chicago Blackhawks have been struggling lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. However, they have been pretty good at blocking shots, managing 11.2 per game, which is close to the league average. This shows they can defend when needed. On the other hand, the Colorado Avalanche have won 5 of their last 10, but they don't consistently dominate either.
For this game, I like the Chicago Blackhawks to be competitive in the third period, so I'm picking them at +0.5. They have home ice advantage, and the matchup feels pretty even, making it a close call. The biggest risk here is that both teams are fairly matched, so it could go either way.
Chicago Blackhawks vs Colorado Avalanche: Patrick Kane Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (-130)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Patrick Kane has been a key player for the Chicago Blackhawks, and he's been getting plenty of chances to shoot lately. Despite the Blackhawks struggling overall, Kane has the ability to find the net against the Colorado Avalanche. The Avalanche have also been giving up opportunities, which makes this a good spot for him to shine.
Betting on Patrick Kane to have over 1.5 shots on goal looks promising. While the Blackhawks have only won 3 of their last 10 games, Kane can still make an impact. One thing to note is that the Avalanche have been blocking shots well this season, so Kane will need to be sharp.
Chicago Blackhawks vs Colorado Avalanche: Nathan MacKinnon Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (-139)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Nathan MacKinnon has been on a roll lately, and he's a key player for the Colorado Avalanche. He's consistently finding ways to shoot, and given the matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks, who have had some struggles this season, I think he can get over 3.5 shots on goal. The Blackhawks have won just 3 of their last 10 games, which might leave them vulnerable defensively.
While both teams average below the league rate for blocked shots and hits, the Blackhawks are particularly low in those areas. This could give MacKinnon plenty of chances to let loose. The main concern here is that the two teams are fairly close in recent form, so it won't be easy. Still, I feel good about this bet.
Chicago Blackhawks vs Colorado Avalanche: Gabriel Landeskog Yes Anytime Goal Scorer (+290)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Chicago Blackhawks are struggling, winning only 3 of their last 10 games, while the Colorado Avalanche have found some form with 5 wins in the same stretch. Gabriel Landeskog of the Avalanche has a real chance to score, as he's been a key player for them. The Blackhawks' defense isn't exactly tight, allowing plenty of chances, which makes Landeskog a solid bet to find the net.
One risk in this matchup is that both teams have been inconsistent, making it tough to predict who will shine. However, with Colorado's improved play and Landeskog's scoring ability, backing him to score anytime feels like a smart choice. The odds at +290 make it an exciting opportunity for a potential win.
