A fun matchup on the ice is set for Wednesday night when the Montreal Canadiens (32 points) visit the Colorado Avalanche (36 points). Montreal is having a tough season, but they are just six points out of the second Eastern Conference Wild Card spot. Colorado is dealing with some Stanley Cup blues and currently occupy the top Western Conference Wild Card spot. Below is my NHL best bet for Montreal vs Colorado.
