Colorado Avalanche -1.5 (+121)
(NHL) Winnipeg vs. Colorado,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 121.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Loss
Colorado has won two of three to start the season, including a 5-2 victory in their season opener over Chicago last week. This marks their first home game since then and they come in off a 6-3 road victory over a Minnesota team that has been giving up goals like candy on Halloween. Winnipeg didn't play their first game until Friday night when they beat a Rangers team playing the second game of a back-to-back but looked rather listless in their last game, which came Monday on the road against Dallas. Playing in the altitude of Denver can really take a toll on a team, not to mention facing a team as deep and talented as the Avalanche. Alexandar Georgiev has slotted right in to the #1 goaltender role vacated when Darcy Kuemper went to Washington as a free agent. You know Colorado is a threat to put up five on any given night: that offensive bonanza carries them to the win here.
