Mammoth vs. Avalanche Picks
Puck Line Pick for Mammoth vs. Avalanche
- Colorado Avalanche -1.5 (4 Units)
The Avalanche had one of the best offenses in the league last season, and they picked up where they left off with four goals in their first game. They also played well on special teams, converting 17 percent of their power play chances. The Mammoth were 15th in the league in penalty kills, but their defense wasn’t very good, especially on the road, where they gave up at least four goals in three of their last four games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Avalanche.
Utah won’t be as successful offensively because they weren’t very good offensively, and they played worse on the road. The Avalanche were one of the best teams in the league in penalty kills, and they also played well defensively. They held a better offensive team to one goal on the road in their first game and will keep Utah’s offense in check. Take Colorado on the puck line.

The Avalanche played under the total in four of their last six games.
