Analysis
At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Chicago Blackhawks +1.5 goals over the Colorado Avalanche. Last season, the Avalanche won the Presidents' Trophy as the league's best regular season team. They went 55-16-11, including 29-7-5 on the road. But things began to fall apart for Colorado on the road in the Playoffs, as they went 3-3. And so far, in this regular season, the Avalanche are a poor 2-4 on the road, even though their average moneyline price has been -204 (compared to 6-2 at home). Overall, they've been outscored on the road, 21-19, and they've won just one of the six games by more than 1 goal. Colorado is a poor 48-58 (minus 13.9 net games) on the puck line when priced as a moneyline road favorite between -200 and -300. And Chicago is a super 32-15 (+15.3 net games) on the puck line when priced as a moneyline underdog of +200 to +300. Take the Blackhawks +1.5 goals. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
