Colorado at Vancouver

Colorado has won four of five following its 9-1 rout on the road at Edmonton on Saturday night. Nathan MacKinnon had two goals and two assists, Cale Makar, Parker Kelly and Jack Drury also had two goals apiece for the Avalanche, who have won 10 of 14 against the Pacific Division. Colorado has won nine of its past 11 Sunday games and likely will start Mackenzie Blackwood, who is 0-0-1 with a 2.90 goals-against average. Kevin Lankinen is probable for Vancouver with a 3-4-0 mark and a 3.53 GAA. The Canucks have alternated wins and losses for eight games and they come off a 4-3 victory over Columbus. Vancouver is 2-7 its past nine Sunday games and 2-5 at home against teams that have winning road records. Take the Avalanche.
