Game outlook

Two teams looking for a win face off on Monday night in the Mile-High City as the Avalanche host the Flames. Colorado has dominated the matchup in recent years, winning the last three meetings, and owns a 7-1-2 advantage in the last 10. The Avalanche are favored to win, having opened at -179, and the line hasn't moved. Saturday night's meeting is the second time the teams have faced each other this season, with the Avalanche winning 3-1 at home on November 25.

Betting Odds

Moneyline: Flames +156 | Avalanche -179

Avalanche Looking to Rebound Against Struggling Flames in Key Matchup

Both Calgary and Colorado have been struggling recently. Calgary is without their #1 goaltender Jacob Markstrom, who is out with a broken finger, leaving Vladar and Wolf to take the reins. This, combined with their weak offensive output, has put the Flames in tough situations. The Avalanche are also looking for momentum, having lost five of their last six games. However, Colorado has the talent to reverse their fortunes and turn their results around. In each of the last six meetings, the Avalanche have held the Flames to one goal or less. Georgiev is likely to return with a strong performance, helping the Avalanche get back into the win column.
