Chicago Blackhawks vs Colorado Avalanche : Chicago Blackhawks +1.5 (-133)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on 'Chicago Blackhawks 1.5' in the Puck Line market can be rationalized by analyzing recent performance data. The Blackhawks have a solid overall record (4-1) in their last five games, demonstrating strong form, and have been averaging 3.4 goals per game, versus 1.8 goals against. Though their home record is weaker (2-3), their average goals for and against remain positive (2.8 vs 2.4). Colorado Avalanche, despite their strong overall and away record, are allowing an average of 2.8 goals against in their away games. The model prediction of -0.09 suggests a close game. Therefore, taking the Blackhawks with a 1.5 goal handicap seems reasonable, as they have demonstrated the ability to keep games close, and would still 'win' in this market even with a one-goal loss.
