West Conf Game of the Month NHL
(NHL) Oilers (EDM) vs. Avalanche (COL),
Money Line: -125.00 Avalanche (COL) (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Colorado Avalanche.

No need to overthink this one. This is a great situational spot with Edmonton in a back to back and off a big win at Minnesota last night. Colorado is coming in off B2B home wins and the Avalanche have won 6 of last 7 at home. This is also a revenge spot for the Avs because they lost at home to the Oilers earlier this season. Combining that with the rest edge and home ice edge here and you have a fantastic situation. Edmonton continues its tough road trip in Vancouver Saturday. Look for the hosts to come out and set the tone early on. With the revenge aspect here plus the fact the Oilers are allowing a lot of goals on the road and the Avalanche have allowed only 1.8 goals per game last 6 games, this is a great spot at a very fair money line price. Look for the Avs to find a way to get the job done before the final horn sounds.

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Avs.
