Oddsmakers are calling Monday’s special afternoon tilt between Detroit and Colorado essentially a glorified skate around for the Avalanche vs. Detroit. At a whopping -321 price tag there isn’t much value on the Avs however.
Colorado does need Monday’s win. They’ve scraped together a 2-game win streak after having just 3 wins in the 10 games prior. This little surge has drawn Colorado within 8 points of St. Louis in the Central.

Detroit on the other hand is just biding their time until the all-star break and probably more specifically the end of this miserable season. The Wings’ 28 points are easily the worst in the entire league.
Detroit Red Wings
Detroit has shown minimal signs of life lately and on the season as a whole. The Red Wings are in the midst of a 4-game losing streak and are 3-6-1 over their last 10, which is actually good for them this season.
It’s not a great matchup for the Red Wings in this one considering Colorado ranks 4th in the league in goals scored. Detroit doesn’t have the defense to hold the Avs (31st) or the offense to stay with them in a shoot out (31st).
Detroit has lost 4 straight in the series, but games haven’t been the blowouts you’d expect. Colorado needed OT for two of those losses and won another by the tally of just 2-0.
Jeff Blashill’s team has definitely earned their four game losing streak in tallying just 5 goals over that span. They’ve also allowed 19 during the 4-game stretch.
Colorado Avalanche
Colorado absolutely cannot get complacent in this one or they’ll risk suffering one of the worst upsets in the NHL this season. The Avs should be motivated though with a 2-game win streak and the all-star break looming after Monday’s tilt.
The Avalanche need this little mini-run they are on to close out the 1st half of the year after fighting through injuries to 2 of the top 3 scorers but still saying competitive. It’s a testament to the depth the Avs front office has built.
The two wins in a row have been impressive. The Avs shut out San Jose 4-0 on Thursday and toppled the defending Stanley Cup champion Blues on Saturday.
That brings up another factor working in Colorado’s favor and that is Monday’s game being their 5th in a row at home. Detroit is also traveling for just the 2nd time in the last 7 games.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Red Wings are 13-38 last 51 road games.
- Red Wings are 4-10 last 14 on 1 days rest
- Red Wings are 2-9 last 11 Monday games
- Red Wings are 0-4 last 4 head to head meetings
- Road team is 9-4 last 13 meetings
Free Detroit Red Wings vs. Colorado Avalanche NHL Prediction:
Detroit not only hasn’t traveled in awhile, they’ll also be playing their 3rd game in the last 4 nights. Look for another very uninspired performance from the Wings, especially with the awkward 3:00 PM EST start.
The big problem with this game is the Colorado price therefore it has to be a total play. Detroit’s offense has stunk it up lately, so as long as Colorado doesn’t score all the goals this one should stay under.
