Avalanche vs. Coyotes Betting Pick (February 26, 2021)

The Colorado Avalanche open up a four-game road trip on Friday with the first of two games in Glendale against the Arizona Coyotes.

Let’s take a look at this a Western Division clash from a betting perspective in our Avalanche vs. Coyotes betting preview with odds, picks and predictions.

Avalanche vs. Coyotes Betting Pick

The Avalanche lost in blowout fashion 6-2 to Minnesota on Wednesday night. The Wild simply outskated the Avalanche for the majority of the night and never trailed in the contest.

With the loss, Colorado has dropped three of their last five games and now head on the road where they are 5-4 on the year, if you include the outdoor game in Lake Tahoe last Saturday against Vegas.

Arizona heads into this matchup playing their eighth consecutive home game, going just 3-4 during the stretch. They needed to come from behind in both of their 4-3 victories against Anaheim this week.

Bets We Like With a Coyotes Win

Coyotes Team Total OVER 2.5 Goals (+112, FanDuel)

Arizona has scored four goals in each of their last two games in comeback fashion against Anaheim, which snapped a streak of three games with registering just two or fewer goals.

Colorado’s defense is one of the best in the league but the ‘Yotes will need to fire off shots early and often in order to win this contest.

Bets We Like With an Avalanche Win

Nathan MacKinnon to Score a Goal Anytime (+125, DraftKings)

Colorado’s top player was held off the scoresheet in their last game, but MacKinnon has fired off three or more shots on goal in five straight games. I look for him to come out focused in this contest and to score a goal this evening.

Bets We Like Independent of the Outcome

First Period OVER 1.5 Goals (-110 DraftKings)

This is a bounce back spot for Colorado after getting crushed at home, and they will need to get things rolling early in this contest. Colorado is only 3-7 in their last 10 games to the first period over, but Arizona is 9-10 on the season and also tends to score early at home.

Avalanche vs. Coyotes Prediction

Colorado is playing solid hockey, despite the blowout loss at home in their last game. I look for them to rebound nicely here to open this road trip with a 4-2 victory.
