The Colorado Avalanche clash with the Anaheim Ducks once again tonight at Ball Arena.

Let’s take a look at this a Western Division showdown on March 6, 2021  from a betting perspective in our Ducks vs. Avalanche betting preview with odds, picks and player prop predictions.

Ducks vs. Avalanche Betting Pick

The Avalanche came back from a 2-0 deficit to beat Anaheim 3-2 in overtime last night. Forward Valeri Nichushkin scored twice, including the game-winning goal in overtime. Brandon Saad picked up a goal and two assists.

Both goalies John Gibson and Philipp Grubauer were both sharp in net, and with tonight being the back end of a back-to-back scenario, I would expect to see backups Ryan Miller and Hunter Miska between the pipes for their respective clubs.

Anaheim has now lost nine games in a row. One more defeat will make them the first club in the NHL to have a double-digit losing streak since the 1997-98 Tampa Bay Lightning, who accomplished that wretched feat twice during the season.

Bets We Like With a Ducks Win

Ducks Team Total OVER 2.5 Goals (+128 DraftKings)

This Anaheim club has struggled all season with finding consistency on offense. Now that they are having defensive lapses as of late, things are going downhill for the Ducks quickly.

If they want to have a chance to snap their nine-game losing streak, this offense must awaken tonight, especially if Colorado is playing backup goalie Hunter Miska.

Bets We Like With an Avalanche Win

Brandon Saad to Score a Goal Anytime (+280 BetMGM)

The 28-year-old veteran scored his seventh goal of the season last night, along with adding a pair of assists. With 13 points on the season, Saad has been a quiet but effective role player at times, and I like for him to get back on the scoresheet in tonight’s contest.

Bets We Like Independent of the Outcome

Full Game OVER 5.5 Goals (-110, DraftKings)

The Ducks have been involved in some track meets lately, thanks to their dwindling defensive play. The Ducks have allowed three or more goals in 11 of their last 13 overall. Colorado needed to get their goal scoring momentum late in the contest last night, but with the backup goaltenders projected to start this evening, I like for this over to cash in.

Ducks vs. Avalanche Prediction

Colorado needed to come from behind against this struggling Ducks squad last night, which should serve as a wake-up call for the Avs to start with more energy in this contest. I like the Avalanche to win here by a score of 4-3.
