Betting Trends
Colorado is 7-1 SU in the last 8 games against Arizona and are 11-1 SU in the last 12 home games. Arizona is 0-8 SU in their last 8 games, 0-7 SU in the last 7 road games and 1-7 SU in the last 8 games when visiting the Avalanche.
Prediction and Conclusion
Both teams are struggling lately, with Arizona losing the last eight games and Colorado losing five of the last six. Colorado is back home after playing the last six on the road, and that will probably turn things around for them. Colorado is the best home team in the entire league, winning 20 of 15 games so far at Ball Arena this season. Their recent struggles put the pressure on them to bounce back, and there is no better opponent for that than Arizona. Colorado has won seven of the last eight against the Coyotes, and that run will continue tonight with another win covering the -1.5 puck line.
