Sharks vs. Avalanche Preview
This system leans into the idea that fatigue erases edges for good clubs while price inflation lingers, so we back the visitor or neutral underdog in regular-season spots where the opponent owns a strong record yet has skated five or more times in the last ten days, and our side has logged no more than four.
Tired legs blunt forecheck pressure, shorten shifts, and drain special teams execution, while a rested dog carries more pace and cleaner exits that travel cannot cancel early in a season.
The market still upgrades the winning team and the home rink, but the schedule tax shows up quickly, turning these road or neutral dogs into live tickets against overvalued favorites.
