Devils vs. Avalanche Pick
Money Line pick for Devils vs. Avalanche
- Pick: Devils (+4 Units)
The Devils are the hottest team in the league, winners of eight in a row, while the Avalanche have lost their last four games. The Devils were at home in their last game, where they beat the Avs 4-3 in overtime. They have played well on both sides of the ice this season and lead the league in goals per game. The Avs started the season well, and the main reason was their defense. However, their D has not been sharp in their four-game skid, giving up a total of 16 goals. Regarding the New Jersey Devils vs. Colorado Avalanche prediction, the Devils will take it to the struggling Colorado defense again for their ninth win in a row.
Over/Under Pick for Devils vs. Avalanche
- Over (+4 Units)
The total for the last game between these teams went over, and that is the pick I am leaning towards in this game. The total has gone over for three of the games in the four losses in a row for the Avalanche, where their defense has struggled, giving up a total of 16 goals. The Devils lead the NHL in goals per game, and they will have another good game on the attack. They have played solid defense as well, but will give up some goals against a Colorado attack that has been solid on the season. This game will see the lamp get lit several times, just like the last game, so the Over is the pick.
