GAME OF THE WEEK (NHL): MIKE'S TOP RATED MONEYLINE
(NHL) Colorado vs. Chicago,
Money Line: 107.00 Colorado (Away)
Result: Loss
The Colorado Avalanche are riding a four-game winning streak, the most recent victory a 4-2 triumph over the Blackhawks on Saturday. I think they'll complete the home-and-home sweep when visting Chicago here the following night.

The Hawks are losers of three straight and have faded since a strong late-season push put them back in the playoff race. They enter this contest six games back of the Avs who currently hold down the last playoff spot in the Western Conference with Arizona and Minnesota just one point behind.

The Blackhawks have not scored more than two goals in any of their last four games and have converted on just one of their last 24 opportunities to play with the man advantage while the Avs have allowed just four goals through their winning streak.

You'll hear it's tough to sweep a home-and-home series, but at this price I think it's a no-brainer play on a hyper motivated Avs team.

10* play on Colorado Avalanche.
