Stars vs. Avalanche Prediction

I’m on the Avalanche here. The Stars are a solid team and passing up plus money is tough, but the Stars have been struggling lately and it’s hard to get behind them in their current form. The slide will end eventually and the offense will wake up, but Colorado at home has been a strong bet all year long and I think they snag the win here. Give me Colorado in this one.
