Four years ago, Coors Field in Denver, Colorado was the venue for a well-received Stadium Series matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings. As a matter of fact, the Avalanche were such great hosts that the NHL decided to employ their services yet again in 2020. This Saturday night the United States Air Force Academy and its Falcon Stadium, home of college football’s Air Force Falcons, will host the Stadium Series matchup between the Avs and visiting Los Angeles Kings. Colorado will be a large favorite with the NHL odds against a struggling and rebuilding LA team.

Kings vs. Avalanche NHL Stadium Series Odds Overview
Sharps were ahead of the curve with the NHL odds on ascending Colorado long ago. The public is finally catching on. Los Angles has been a bottom feeder for the past couple of seasons and has become a “go-against” team. Add in the special circumstances for this game and the Avs could be bet out of sight.
Current Form
Los Angeles has lost eight of their last ten games with only two of their last nine going over the total. LA is now 20-33-3-2 with only 23 games going over the total. The Kings rank 30th for goals scored and 23rd for goals allowed.
Colorado stands at 33-16-5-1 with only 25 games under the total. The Avs rank first for goals scored and 10th for goals against. Colorado has won eight of their last nine games to now stand at second place in the Western Conference.

2020 NHL Stadium Series Kings vs. Avalanche Free Picks
Caution should be exercised here as the Avalanche will carry a premium price. That being said the Kings are completely outclassed in this one. Colorado was a young and emerging team the last time they hosted the Stadium Series in a 5-3 loss to Detroit. Many of their players, such as superstar Nathan MacKinnon, would like to even the score here. The Avs are also in much better form.
