Wednesday. Puck drop from Ball Arena is set for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NHL odds around the Kings vs. Avalanche odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Something of a crisis appeared to be brewing in the Colorado net, but they’ve gotten more stable netminding of late. Alexandar Georgiev has won his last two decisions and may have played his best game in a tight loss to NHL-topping Winnipeg right before that. Justus Annunen has won four of his past five decisions.

The Colorado Avalanche have faced more adversity through 17 games than most NHL teams do in an entire season. Coming off a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators, they faced another stiff test in the form of the Los Angeles Kings.
