Panthers vs. Avalanche Preview
The Colorado Avalanche welcome the Florida Panthers on Thursday night in a matchup between one of the league’s hottest teams and a club navigating a tough schedule spot.
Florida comes in at 15-12-1 and will be skating on the second half of a back-to-back after edging Utah 4–3 last night.
Colorado, meanwhile, continues to set the pace in the NHL with a 21-2-7 record, powered by captain Nathan MacKinnon’s 51-point start.
Leg 1: Avalanche Moneyline
This is an ideal home spot for Colorado.
Florida’s travel and back-to-back situation works heavily in the Avs’ favor, and Colorado has been nearly automatic at Ball Arena with an 11-0-2 home mark.
The scheduling edge, plus the way the Avalanche are playing, makes their moneyline a strong anchor for the parlay.
Leg 2: Martin Nečas 2+ Shots on Goal
We’ll pair the moneyline with a player prop backed by our Action PRO Report.
Nečas has cleared this number in four straight games, and our projections have him at 2.3 shots on goal tonight.
The volume is consistent, the matchup is solid, and the data support another over.
