Colorado at Chicago

March 20, 2026
img8:30 PM Eastern

Colorado has hit a rough patch, losing four of five, and the Avalanche have scored only four goals in their past three games, including a 2-1 shootout loss to Dallas on Wednesday. Mackenzie Blackwood is likely to start for the Avalanche, and he has lost his last three appearances, allowing 14 goals in four games, including a 7-2 defeat against Pittsburgh on Monday when he surrendered four goals on 15 shots. Chicago has won three of five while playing without pressure, just trying to build momentum heading into next season. The Blackhawks come off a 2-1 victory over Minnesota on Thursday when defenseman Alex Vlasic made a game-saving stop as time ran out. Chicago is getting great line value as a home underdog. Take the Blackhawks.

Chicago at Colorado

March 10, 2025
img9:00 PM Eastern

Colorado, surprisingly, is in double revenge against the lowly Blackhawks, who have won the first two meetings this season. However, Chicago has lost six of seven road games against the Avalanche and seven of its past eight road games overall. The Blackhawks have lost 13 of its past 18 games, and they are 8-46 on the road against teams with .600 home winning percentages. Chicago is 9-54 as a road underdog, and this will be its fourth game in six days, and the first three went into overtime. The Avalanche have won five in a row while outscoring opponents 28-11. They come off a 7-4 victory over Toronto on Saturday when Valeri Nichushkin recorded a hat trick, and Nathan MacKinnon scored the go-ahead goal with 4:15 left. The Avs have won four straight with one day of rest. Take the Avalanche.
