Devils vs Avalanche
Avalanche Seek to Halt Skid Against Shorthanded Devils
New Jersey Devils vs Colorado Avalanche
February 26th 2025 | 7:00 PM EST | Ball Arena, Denver, CO
Grade B+: Colorado Avalanche Moneyline (-140)
The Colorado Avalanche, eager to rebound from a two-game losing streak, host the New Jersey Devils, who recently secured a 5-0 shutout against Nashville despite missing key players. The Devils are without captain Nico Hischier (upper-body injury) and starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom (MCL sprain), relying on backup Jake Allen between the pipes. Conversely, the Avs have welcomed back Valeri Nichushkin after a 19-game absence, bolstering their offensive lineup. Given Colorado's home-ice advantage and the Devils' depleted roster, betting on the Avalanche moneyline at -140 is advisable, earning a B+ grade for its favorable odds and Colorado's determination to end their losing streak.
Grade B+: Colorado Avalanche Puckline -1.5
The Colorado Avalanche, eager to snap a two-game losing streak, host the New Jersey Devils, who are grappling with significant injuries. The Devils are without captain Nico Hischier (upper-body injury) and starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom (MCL sprain), relying on backup Jake Allen between the pipes. Conversely, the Avalanche have welcomed back Valeri Nichushkin after a 19-game absence, bolstering their offensive lineup. Given Colorado's home-ice advantage and the Devils' depleted roster, betting on the Avalanche to cover the -1.5 puck line at +185 offers substantial value, earning a B+ grade for its favorable odds and Colorado's determination to end their losing streak.
Grade B+: Over 5.5 Total Goals
The New Jersey Devils, currently on a two-game winning streak, are set to face the Colorado Avalanche, who are eager to rebound from a recent loss. The Devils are dealing with significant injuries, including captain Nico Hischier (upper-body injury) and starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom (MCL sprain), which have impacted their defensive stability. On the other hand, the Avalanche have been without forward Valeri Nichushkin due to a lower-body injury, affecting their offensive depth. Given these circumstances and both teams' recent performances, betting on the over 5.5 goals is advisable, earning a B+ grade for its favorable odds and the likelihood of a high-scoring game.
