Oilers vs Avalanche Final NHL Betting Analysis

The better teams in the National Hockey League can win games on the road and at home. Colorado does that. The Avalanche have gone 11-6-1 in away games. In home games, they’ve been equally impressive with a 6-2-3 record.

The Avalanche are for real, but they could show more softness in this game than we expect. Colorado lost center Vladislave Kamenev indefinitely while defenseman Conor Timmins is out until late December with a concussion.

Edmonton’s on a roll while the Avalanche lost 1-7 to Tampa Bay in their last. The Oilers are the play.
