The Vancouver Canucks wrap up their four-game road trip against the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Arena on Tuesday, December 2.
My top Canucks vs. Avalanche predictions and NHL picks are headlined by Vancouver star forward Elias Pettersson.
Canucks vs Avalanche prediction
Canucks vs Avalanche Best bet: Elias Pettersson Over 1.5 shots on goal (-150)
Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson has been a more willing shooter over the past six games and recorded two or more shots four times for 17 total on 33 attempts.
He’s cemented into the No. 1 center role while averaging a monster 21:35 of ice time per night during the six-game stretch, which includes skating with the top power-play unit (5:15 per game during the run).
Additionally, the Colorado Avalanche are dealing with multiple injuries up front, and Nathan MacKinnon, the betting favorite in the Hart Trophy odds, missed practice Monday with an illness.
While his status for this Tuesday tilt isn’t set in stone, it would obviously be a bonus if he didn’t suit up or played while feeling under the weather.
With the injuries piling up, the Avs have been a little more vulnerable the past five games, allowing an average of 29.0 shots against per game. Colorado has also, uncharacteristically, allowed 35+ twice.
I’m anticipating Pettersson hitting the net at least twice on Tuesday at Ball Arena.
