AVS/BLACKHAWKS: ROGERS' GREAT EXPECTATIONS!
(NHL) Colorado vs. Chicago,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 110.00 Colorado (Away)
Result: Loss
Colorado faces the Blackhawks Tuesday night. Avs are tops in goals scored, the Blackhawks at the tail end (30th). The Avs have a potent powerplay against a very average Chicago PK. The Blackhawks have only two goals to show for their two games since the break. The Avs carried on right where they left off against a much tougher opponent in the Ducks. Fleury is expected back in the net, but he has been off for more than two weeks. Most goaltenders take a game or two at least to get back in playing form. Chicago was struggling before the break, and has now lost 4 straight, scoring only 6 goals and allowing 18. I very much like the Avs, but the odds are prohibitive. Not to worry. Take the Avs to win -1.5. they are worth the extra goals.
