NHL Betting Preview: Avalanche vs Ducks

The Colorado Avalanche meet the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center, with face-off scheduled for 22:00 on Tuesday, March 3.

Colorado Avalanche have triumphed in their previous three road games. The latest saw them beat Los Angeles Kings 4-2 at Crypto.com Arena. Devon Toews was one of four different players on the scoresheet.

Anaheim Ducks last game was a 3-2 (SO) victory over Calgary Flames at Honda Center. That means it’s now been eight home wins on the spin. Cutter Gauthier was able to score both goals. Goalie Lukas Dostal made a total of 32 saves (.941).
