NHL TV Blowout Crusher
(NHL) Minnesota vs. Colorado,
Money Line: -168.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Win
ASA PLAY ON 7* Colorado Avalanche Money Line -165 over Minnesota Wild at 8:30 PM ET - We rarely lay prices in this range in money line sports such as NHL and MLB. However, this is a rare exception that is too good to pass up on. The Avalanche have some injury issues but this is a very resilient team that is use to battling through injuries - remember last season and last year's playoffs? The fact is that with Nathan MacKinnon's health now in doubt too this line has been pushed down very far from where it would normally be. In a situation like this the Avalanche would have been at least a 2 to 1 favorite at home and likely would have fallen into the -200 to -250 range. That said, seeing a line as low as -165 on this one as of early Tuesday is a great value. The injury situation actually gave us the value we needed to get involved. The Wild just beat the Avalanche in overtime on Sunday but that was in Minnesota. Now the Wild play their first road game in nearly two weeks and they face a Colorado club out for revenge. The Avalanche are a perfect 3-0 this season when off a loss and they have won those games by a combined score of 18 to 5. The Avs entered Sunday's game allowing an average of just 2 goals per game over an 8-game stretch. The Wild entered Sunday's game losers in 3 of their last 4. It is payback time here. Lay it! Take the AVALANCHE.
