The Colorado Avalanche should still be without their leading scorer tonight, Nathan MacKinnon, but that shouldn’t matter because they will be hosting the Montreal Canadiens. Colorado is 19-7-1 at home and have won 9 straight at Pepsi Center. The Habs are a dismal 8-16-1 on the road, 1-8 in their last 9 road games, and just 2-8 in their last 10 in Colorado. Montreal won the last meeting with Colorado so the Avalanche will have payback on their minds. Pepsi Center will be electric for this one. Consider the Avalanche.
TONIGHT’S PICK: COLORADO AVALANCHE
