Columbus Blue Jackets vs Colorado Avalanche prediction & odds - who wins?
Given Colorado’s 32-4-7 record, 16-game home winning streak, and top-tier offensive metrics, the Avalanche are projected to win in regulation with fair odds in the 1.55–1.65 range on the 60-minute line and 1.30–1.35 on the full-game moneyline.
