Battle in the West: Colorado Avalanche vs Vancouver Canucks | March 13, 2024

Tonight, we have a good matchup on our hands. The Colorado Avalanche (40-20-5) face the Vancouver Canucks (42-17-7) at Rogers Arena. The Avalanche won the last game these 2 teams played by a score of 3-1.

Colorado is 3rd in the Central Division and are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. They're not the best on the road with a 14-14-5 record, so they'll need to hold it down to compete with Colorado.

Nathan Mackinnon is having a Hart Trophy season, leading the league in points. He has 41 goals and 72 assists so far this season. Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar also help lead this team on offense.

The Avalanche rank middle of the league on defense. Despite that, their goaltending has been solid. Alexander Georgiev is having a ridiculous season with 33 wins and a 2.85 GAA. He will be in net tonight.

The Canucks will look to stay hot and extend win streak to 5 games

Vancouver is 1st in the Pacific Division and are good at home with a 21-6-3 record. They love to play on their home ice.

The Canucks come into this game on a 5-game winning streak. They come into this game on 2 days rest and a 5-0 win over the Jets.

Quinn Hughes is having a Norris Trophy type season with 13 goals and 63 assists. JT Miller leads the team in points with 85 points and Elias Pettersson has 79 points. All these boys are having a year.

Goalie Thatcher Demko is having a Vezina season but will not get the start. Casey DeSmith will be in between the pipes for the Canucks. He has a 8-4-5 record with a 2.85 GAA and a .898 save percentage.

Let's check out the odds and get into the picks.

Colorado Avalanche vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction and Picks

Prediction and Pick: Vancouver Canucks Moneyline (-110) Get 50% up to $750 Deposit on BETUS for this pick

The Canucks are playing great hockey right now. Not that the Avalanche aren't, but they're coming off rest and are home.

Just like the line is set at, this is split right down the middle. We're going to have a great game on our hands. I think this is a great spot for the Canucks to get a win vs the Avs on the 2nd game of a back-to-back.

I expect it to be a low scoring game and lean with the under. Vancouver will need to protect DeSmith to really have the edge in this game. Georgiev will pose a big challenge to the Canucks who will rely on home ice advantage a bit.

We're definitely going to get a good game and I think the Canucks will come out on top. Expect for them to try and control the game while finding ways to get past Georgiev.
