Lightning vs Avalanche Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Lightning to take down the Avalanche on the road. With the moneyline currently at +118, I’m placing my bet on the Lightning straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Lightning winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Lightning straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

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