Chicago at Colorado

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.
