Avalanche vs. Coyotes Betting Pick and Prediction (March 23, 2021)

The Colorado Avalanche look to continue their winning ways tonight as they once again take on the Arizona Coyotes.

Let’s take a look at this Western Division showdown from a betting perspective in our Avalanche vs. Coyotes betting preview with odds, picks and predictions.

Avalanche vs. Coyotes Betting Preview

The Avalanche won their seventh consecutive game last night, defeating Arizona 5-1.

Forward Joonas Donskoi scored two goals and Mikko Rantanen scored his club-leading 18th goal of the year in the victory, with goaltender Philipp Grubauer making 24 saves on 25 shots to pick up his ninth victory in his last ten starts.

With the loss, Arizona has now dropped six of its last seven games, including three of its last four at Gila River Arena. The Coyotes are projected to start backup Adin Hill, just a day after the team announced that starter Darcy Kuemper could miss the rest of the regular season with an ongoing groin injury.

Colorado made a trade yesterday, sending a sixth-round pick in this summer’s draft to Buffalo in exchange for goaltender Jonas Johansson.

He could start tonight after going 0-5-1 with a 3.79 goals-against average in six starts for a horrific Sabres club in the midst of a current 14-game losing streak.

Bets We Like With a Coyotes Win

Clayton Keller OVER 0.5 Goals (+280, FanDuel)

Leading the Coyotes with 10 goals, Forward Clayton Keller is a legitimate option to bet on scoring this evening in order for this struggling Arizona squad to pull itself back into the win column.

The 22-year-old speedster has scored twice over the last three games, and despite only having one goal and eight assists in 13 career games against Colorado, this top-line winger has been one of the most consistent scoring threats all year. He should get several good chances to find the back of the net tonight.

Bets We Like With an Avalanche Win

Avalanche Team Total OVER 3.5 Goals (+100, DraftKings)

Colorado’s offense continues to spearhead this winning surge, scoring 30 goals over the last six games. With the Coyotes projected to start their backup Adin Hill, this is a really good spot to back the Avs once again to score over their team total.

The Avalanche have scored three or more goals in eight of their last 11 contests, and I expect them to eclipse that mark in tonight’s game.

Bets We Like Independent of the Outcome

Full Game OVER 5.5 Goals (-103, DraftKings)

Five of the last eight meetings between these two clubs have gone over the total, mostly in games where the Avalanche won in blowout fashion like last night. Also, seven of the last nine meetings at Gila River Arena have gone over the total, so with this small favorite price, the over is a strong play worth wagering on tonight.

Avalanche vs. Coyotes Prediction

I don’t see Arizona figuring out the solution to stop this speeding Colorado train in a matter of just 24 hours. I like the Avalanche to cruise once again in a 6-2 victory.
