Colorado is in revenge mode after losing 4-1 to Utah on Dec. 12. Mackenzie Blackwood allowed three of the goals on 22 shots but didn't get much help from the offensive side as Karel Vejmelka stopped 23 of 24 shots for Utah. Both goalies are expected to start tonight, and this time, the Avalanche come into the game riding a three-game win streak after topping Seattle 5-2 on Sunday. Joel Kiviranta scored two of his three goals into an empty net for his first regular-season hat trick, and Blackwood stopped 17 of 19 shots for the Avalanche. Utah has lost two straight, four in a row as a home underdog, and seven of eight overall as a dog of +110 to +150. Colorado is 6-1 as a favorite of -110 to -150, and it has won five of its past six road games. Take the Avalanche.
