Rangers vs Avalanche Odds, Lines & Prediction (Dec 9)

Rangers host Avalanche on Friday, December 9th at 9:00 pm ET. Avalanche are +130 home underdogs in the NHL odds. Rangers are the defending Stanley Cup champions.

Rangers are the defending champions. The Avs have lost three in a row. Rangers have won two straight games.

The New York Rangers are struggling this season. They are not even in the playoff position in Eastern Conference. However, they are coming off two victories, including a 5-1 victory over the Golden Knights on Tuesday. On Friday, the Rangers take on the Colorado Avalanche.

Avalanche are in a crisis with injuries. MacKinnon, Landeskog, Byram and Nichushkin are among the players expected to be out in the Rangers vs Avalanche odds.

The Avalanche have lost three straight games and were shutout by Boston on Tuesday. They are without a number of their top forwards. The Rangers have owned the Avalanche recently.

The Rangers haven't beaten Colorado in almost three years. The Avalanche have won seven of the last nine games against the Rangers.

Adam Fox and Cale Makar are the Norris Trophy favorites. Makara's teammates are injured, so it's hard to imagine the Avs can pull a win out. Rangers are on a streak and roll with New York on the moneyline.
