The Colorado Avalanche and the San Jose Sharks meet in NHL action from the SAP Center on Tuesday night. Let’s dive into the odds, matchup history and make a prediction for this game.
Odds
Colorado is a -230 road favorite while San Jose is a +190 home underdog. The total for this game has been set at 6.5 goals.
Matchup History
Colorado’s 6-0 win back on March 7th, 2023, made it four straight wins for the Avalanche in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Colorado is 49-22 in their last 71 road games and 149-71 in their last 220 games overall while the over is 7-3-1 in their last 11 games following a win. San Jose is 25-68 in their last 93 games overall and 13-38 in their last 51 home games while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.
Pick
I will side with the Avalanche -1.5 here. The Sharks have decided to start winning when it really doesn’t mean anything, but that doesn’t change the fact that the Sharks have won just 8 times at home this season and Colorado is still in the hunt for the Central division title. I’m surprised this line isn’t a lot heavier. Give me the Avalanche on the puck line here.
