Stars vs. Avalanche prediction & best bet
Avalanche ML (-150)
Coming off last night's win in Dallas, the Avalanche have won three of their last four against the Stars, who are struggling to score consistently.
I don't see them solving that issue ahead of tonight's quick turnaround on the second leg of a back-to-back. The Avalanche, one of the NHL's best home teams since last season, are much more accustomed to playing in the thin Denver air. I have them winning tonight to sweep this home-and-home series.
BetMGM has the best Avalanche moneyline odds among the best sports betting sites, but there's value betting up to -160.

There's plenty of value in backing him to finish with at least three shots at today's plus-money odds. FanDuel offers the best price on this player prop bet at +112.
