When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Panthers to secure the win and cover. Expect the Panthers to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Avalanche.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6.5 goals, we believe that this game will remain below that figure, and we recommend wagering on the under.
