The Avalanche's Team Preview!
The Avalanche's offense looks solid on paper, and they wrapped up last season with a 50-25-7 record. They were elite offensively last year, and it seems like they're set to be just as good this season. Nathan MacKinnon was the standout player, finishing with 51 goals and 89 assists. Gabriel Landeskog is expected to come back at some point, but they’re not quite ready for his return yet. The main concern for the Avs has been their defense and goaltending. If they don’t step it up in net, this season could be a rough ride.
The Golden Knights Team Preview
The Golden Knights look pretty different this season after finishing last year with a 45-29-8 record. Jonathan Marchessault, who scored 42 goals last season, has headed to the Nashville Predators, so losing him is definitely a big hit. Chandler Stephenson and Michael Amadio also chipped in with 30 goals, but they’ve both moved on too. The good news? The Knights picked up Tomas Hertl, and he’ll need to have a big season. In this game, they’re really going to need some other players to step up and help fill that gap in production.
The Avalanche vs VGK
Game Prediction
The Pick: VGK ML +105
The Prop: J. Eichel Assist -120
I’m all in on the Golden Knights at home to kick off their season with a bang. Colorado's defense was a big problem last year, and it looks like it's going to be more of the same this time around. Vegas is going to have no problem putting up some serious points, and that’s what’ll make the difference here. I expect Colorado to have a tough time getting any offense rolling, while Vegas will get the job done. So, let’s back the Golden Knights on the money line!
