After an outstanding start to the season, the Avalanche have had a handful of really bad losses. One of those losses was in their last outing against Nashville, where a third period collapse netted them a loss in a game they mostly dominated. I expect the Avs to bounce back nicely in front of their home crowd and notch a solid win on Wednesday night.

The Avs are coming off a stunning collapse against Nashville on Monday night, so I expect them to put their best foot forward against the Canucks. I expect this game to have a final score in the 5-3 range in favor of Colorado.
