Avalanche vs. Predators Best Bets

PICK: Roman Josi Over 4.5 SOG (+125)

PICK: Cale Makar Over 3.5 SOG (+125)

The Colorado Avalanche visit the Nashville Predators in a rematch of their first round playoff series from a year ago, which the Avs won 4 games to 0.

This is the 3rd meeting of the season with the Avalanche also winning those 2 games, both at home, by scores of 5-3 and 3-1. I am expecting the Predators to be charged up in this game as they look to finally beat Colorado going into the break. I am targeting a defenseman from each team to eclipse their shots on goal prop. Let's take a look.

First I am going with Nashville Defenseman Roman Josi to go over 4.5 shots on goal. Roman has hit this mark in both meetings with the Avalanche this season.

Josi has also eclipsed this in 10 of 15 home games, where he averages 5.1 shots per game on 9.1 attempts. Colorado is allowing 9.29 shots per game to defenseman this season, which is 10th most in the league.

Next we have Colorado Defensemen Cale Makar to go over 3.5 shots on goal. Cale is heating up as he has hit this mark in 6 of his last 7 games, averaging 5 shots on net on 9 attempts per game in that span.

The Predators are allowing 9.32 shots on goal to defensemen this season, which is 9th most in the league. Makar only had 2 shots in the first meeting of the season against Nashville but he followed that up with a 7 shot on goal performance last week.

The Preds should be pushing the pace in this game, which could lead to the Avs trailing, keeping Makar involved.

Bet Roman Josi Over 4.5 SOG (+125) and Cale Makar Over 3.5 SOG (+125) with BetMGM.
