Avalanche vs Canucks Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Avalanche to secure a victory over the Canucks on the road. With the moneyline currently set at -106, I’m locking in my bet on the Avalanche straight-up.

Our projections have the Avalanche pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Avalanche, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
