Senators at Avalanche picks and predictions

forecast

Avalanche 5, Senators 3

Money line

The Avalanche (-160) is a bit pricey, but Colorado seems to have caught lightning in a bottle with Annunen, and he and the team have been playing very well lately.

The Senators (+135) paid big money for Ullmark, but early returns were a bit inconsistent. He's unlikely to turn things around against a high-powered Colorado offense.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

The Avalanche -1.5 (+145) are worth a roll of the dice if you're a little less conservative.

Colorado has won 3 of the last 4 meetings by 2 goals or more, and the Avalanche have cashed in at the puck line in 6 of the last 8 meetings since February 6, 2020. So if you want the Avs to win, you should I like covering them too.

Over/Under

ABOUT 6.5 (-120) is worth a look as the total reached an all-time high in six consecutive meetings in this series.

The Senators' last six games have alternated top and bottom players, so be careful.

Additionally, the Under has a record of 3-0-1 in his last four games for the Avs, although the record is high with a record of 3-0-1 in four home games at Ball Arena.
