- Colorado Avalanche -1.5 -230 Over 6.5
- Montreal Canadiens +1.5 +186 Under 6.5
Recommended Pick: Montreal Canadiens +1.5
For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Canadiens to pick up on a win over the Avalanche at home. With the moneyline sitting at +186, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Canadiens straight-up. Our projections have the Canadiens pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Canadiens, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line. If you’re looking at the the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our NHL prediction is that this game will stay below that threshold, and we strongly suggest placing a bet on the under.
