Avalanche vs Canucks Odds & Picks: Colorado Wins As Road Favorites

Colorado won its last four games against the Vancouver Canucks and I believe they'll win a fifth one tonight at Rogers Arena as -135 favorites with the 'Nucks reeling from losses in three of four and their coach calling out their poor efforts.

See below Odds Shark's BET99 same-game parlay that combines the total going OVER 6 goals, Nathan MacKinnon scoring at least two points, and Jake DeBrusk getting at least three shots on net for +475 odds.

Avalanche vs Canucks Picks

Colorado comes to Vancouver in great shape with four wins in its last five games and seeing its recent goaltending trades working out very well. The Avs shipped Justus Annunen and Alexandar Georgiev and brought in goalies Scott Wedgewood and Mackenzie Blackwood, both have performed well winning four of six games and combining for a 0.935 save percentage and a 1.93 goals against average.

Mikko Rantanen has been out of this world in the Avs's last five games with an incredible three goals and 11 points, an average of 2.2 points per game, OVER 1.5 points for Rantanen is +140 tonight at BET99.

Meanwhile, the Canucks have lost three of four games and have seen their head coach Rich Tocchet blasts his team saying a number of players aren't "emotionally invested in the game". And goalie Thatcher Demko who's back from a long injury, is still trying to catch up to a moving train with a 0-1-1 record and averaging a 0.830 save percentage and 4.47 goals against average.

With all of their problems, I don't trust the Canucks to win this game so I'm taking the Avs on the moneyline. 

Avalanche vs Canucks Same Game Parlay

OVER 6 Goals: Total has gone OVER 6 goals in six games in the last 10 Avalanche vs Canucks games with an average of 7.6 goals. Both teams have seen the total go OVER often lately with Vancouver holding a 5-3-2 record against OVER six goals while Colorado is 5-5-0. Combine those two records and the total goes OVER tonight.

MacKinnon OVER 1.5 Points: Mack is clicking recently with four goals and 10 points in his last five games and 14 points in his last seven. Against Vancouver, MacKinnon has done well scoring seven points in his last six games, and with Demko likely starting we firmly believe Mack will continue his strong play.

Jake DeBrusk OVER 2.5 Shots: Despite seeing DeBrusk's ice time slip to under 14 minutes in his last two games, the Canucks need to go back to Jake tonight as they look to shake things up, DeBrusk had shot a lot before his ice time was cut with 22 shots in his five prior games, an average of 4.4 per game.

Avalanche vs Canucks Player Prop

JT Miller O0.5 Points (-170) BET99

Miller is back and very productive with three points in the two games since his return, per Outlier, Miller has gone OVER 0.5 points in five of his last six home games.

Miller was great for Vancouver against the Avalanche last year scoring three goals and four points in three games, and while goaltending has been better for the Avs lately, they've still allowed eight goals in their last three games. And with JT productive and playing 19+ minutes of ice time in his lat game, he'll get the opportunity to produce and I believe he does so, at least once for -170 odds.
