The Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights meet Wednesday in NHL action at the T-Mobile Arena. The Colorado Avalanche look for a win after winning 10 of their last 12 games. The Vegas Golden Knights look for a win after splitting their last 12 games.

The Avalanche are 9-1 in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest and 66-23 in their last 89 overall. The Golden Knights are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. The under is 4-0 in Avalanche last 4 overall. The under is 3-1-1 in Golden Knights last 5 overall. The Avalanche are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Vegas and 0-5 in the last 5 meetings.

The Vegas Golden Knights are usually moneymakers at home, and they should have the edge here with the rest advantage. However, we’re getting the Colorado Avalanche, probably the best team in the league, at a pick em price, something you’re not going to get much this season. Also, the Avs haven’t lost back to back games since November 3-6. I have to side with the Avalanche here based on the value.
