This is a 10* on OVER

The season is already off to an auspicious start in Colorado where the Avalanche are without star Nathan MacKinnon and coach Jared Bednar because of COVID-19. The team is hopeful neither absence will be lengthy. That being said, there’s a reason the Avs are considered Stanley Cup favorites coming into the season. They have tremendous depth. We don’t see them having any difficulty scoring tonight when they open the season at home vs. Chicago. The Avs will definitely be motivated to score as they go up against old nemesis Marc-Andre Fleury, who now is between the pipes for the Blackhawks after coming over from Vegas in the offseason. Fleury helped Vegas to four straight wins over Colorado in last year’s playoffs, but he’s got a much weaker team in front of him now. Chicago was top 10 in goals allowed last year. Colorado led the league in scoring. Because of the bubble, these two teams did not face off last year. But the Avalanche have scored at least four times the previous four times they’ve played the Blackhawks. One concern for the Avs is in goal where they let Philipp Grubauer depart in free agency. Darcy Kuemper is the replacement and he was tied for 29th in the league in save percentage in 2020-21. Play on OVER
