Avalanche vs Stars Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Stars to defeat the Avalanche while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at -135, I’m placing a wager on the Stars to win outright.

When making a puck line pick, we’re backing the Stars to win and cover. Watch for the Stars to win this game by multiple goals over the Avalanche.

If you’re looking at the the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will stay below that threshold, and we strongly suggest placing a bet on the under.
