The Colorado Avalanche remain Stanley Cup betting favorites, but they need to start winning games if they want to remain on top. Through their first 10 games, the Avs have a losing record at 4-5-1. They can begin to turn their season around tonight when they host the lowly Vancouver Canucks, who share a similar record at 5-6-2.

Colorado has lost back-to-back games against the Columbus Blue Jackets, while the Canucks will look to bounce back after an overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks.

Let's take a look at the odds, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

Canucks vs. Avalanche Prediction and Pick

Not only are the Avalanche a lowly 4-5-1, but their underlying statistics aren't promising either. They rank 16th in CORSI%, which isn't promising for a team that's the betting favorite to win the Stanley Cup. Sometimes in hockey, losses can come from unlucky bounces of the puck, but that's not the case so far for the Avs. They're truly being outplayed in their losses.

Meanwhile, some of the Canucks statistics have been promising. Eighth in CORSI% and 13th in high danger scoring chances against. They are deserving to be underdogs tonight, but the +175 price tag presents some value.

Pick: Canucks +175
