NHL Picks: Avalanche, Flames, Ducks Favorites

For the NHL, it's March 20th, and here's what's going on.

Tonight in the NHL, betters are eyeing three strong plays for Friday, March 20th.

The picks target the Colorado Avalanche, minus 1.5, and minus 1.15, against the Chicago

Black Hawks, the Calgary Flames, minus 105.

Over the Florida Panthers, and the Anaheim Ducks, plus 102 at the Utah Mammoth, all three

fade teams playing the second game of Back to Backs.

The Avalanche have dropped their last three, but face a fatigued Black Hawks squad, fresh

off a tight road win in Minnesota last night.

Colorado dominated shots in their most recent loss, and should pile on goals against the

Chicago team that burned energy on the road.

Meanwhile, the Flames boasts a solid 17 wins, 12 losses, and 4 overtime losses at home.

They just edged St. Louis in a shootout, and now host the Panthers, who travel cross-country

after beating Edmonton, but have struggled lately with.

Back to Back Road games.

Over in Utah, the Mammoth-Blanked Vegas 4-0 last night, but sit just three in six in second

games of Back to Backs this season.

The Ducks, coming off overtime heartbreak against Philadelphia, offer value as road underdogs

in this spot.

These odds come from draft kings and could shift, so check the latest lines before wagering.

All betting starts with knowing your limits.
