Anybody who knows anything about the Honda West Division knows by now that the Colorado Avalanche are becoming runaway favorites to take the division. They came into the year as co-favorites with the Vegas Golden Knights, and have seen nothing but growth from additions and younger players. This on top of their existing superstar core of Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar has resulted in a bona-fide powerhouse.
For this reason, the Wild opened the day with a plus-140 money line by Las Vegas betting odds, which implies about a 41 percent chance of a win.
