Avalanche vs. Golden Knights Prediction, Odds, Picks - Dec. 27

Zakhar Bardakov - No place in lineup Bardakov was scratched for the sixth straight game in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Bardakov was a regular while the Avalanche were trying to get to full health earlier in the year, but the 24-year-old has lost his place with the team missing just Logan O'Connor (hip) up front. Bardakov will have to wait for more players to be absent before he can add to his totals of five points, 16 shots on net and 22 hits in 25 games this season.

Samuel Girard - Scores winning goal Tuesday Girard scored a goal in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Utah.

Impact Girard provided all the offense of the game with a second-period goal, finding the back of the net with a backhander at the 7:57 mark. This was Girard's second goal of the season. Even though he's scored his two goals in December, he doesn't produce enough to be worthy of fantasy consideration in most formats.

Scott Wedgewood - Posts 32-save shutout Wedgewood posted a 32-save shutout in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Mammoth.

Impact The Avalanche have won 13 home games in a row, and Wedgewood delivered an impressive performance in this one to keep that streak alive. This was Wedgewood's second shutout of the season, with the previous coming against the Blackhawks on Nov. 23 in a 1-0 road win. The 33-year-old netminder has won his last three outings and has posted a save percentage of .900 or higher in each of his previous seven appearances.

Scott Wedgewood - Set to start versus Utah Wedgewood is expected to tend the twine at home against the Mammoth on Tuesday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Impact Wedgewood hasn't suffered a regulation loss in his last 13 outings, posting a 10-0-2 with a 1.90 GAA and one shutout. The Avs look set to continue to rotate their backstops, limiting Wedgewood's fantasy value. Still, with the strong supporting cast around him, Wedgewood figures to continue piling up wins.

Avalanche mercilessly taunt the Wild after win on Sunday. The Colorado Avalanche are making the Minnesota Wild eat their words.

Valeri Nichushkin - Chips in twice Sunday Nichushkin registered two assists and put three shots on net in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Nichushkin picked up a secondary helper on both of the Avs' goals in the third period, including Nathan MacKinnon's empty-netter. With the pair of apples, Nichushkin is up to 13 assists, 21 points, 67 shots on goal and 24 hits through 27 games this season. Since his return from a lower-body injury on Dec. 2, the 30-year-old winger has been a consistent name on the team's scoresheets with nine points over 10 outings. If he can stay healthy, Nichushkin should continue to see top-six minutes moving forward, making him a viable option in most fantasy formats.

Brock Nelson - Tallies trio of points Nelson tallied a goal, distributed two assists and recorded two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over Minnesota.

Impact Nelson slid the primary helper on both of Colorado's power-play goals in the second period before he scored at even strength in the third. With Sunday's three-point effort, the 34-year-old center is up to 14 goals, 11 assists, 70 shots on net and 29 blocks through 35 games this season. After a sluggish start to the season with five points through 16 games, he has been incredibly consistent since mid-November with 11 goals and 20 points in his last 19 games. The 13-year NHL veteran is a lock to see top-six minutes on a dangerous Avs' offense moving forward, giving him solid fantasy value in most formats moving forward while he attempts to secure a roster spot on Team USA for the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milano Cortina.

Nathan MacKinnon - Reaches 30-goal mark Sunday MacKinnon scored two goals, put four shots on net and dished out two hits in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact MacKinnon first lit the lamp on a power play in the opening period before grabbing his second goal of the contest on Minnesota's empty net. The pair of twine finders elevated the 30-year-old center's total to 30 goals this season to go along with 61 points, 161 shots on net, 28 hits and 21 blocks through 35 outings. He used Sunday's contest to elevate his lead over Boston's Morgan Geekie in the Rocket Richard Trophy race by five goals. While Edmonton's Connor McDavid surpassed MacKinnon in points Sunday, the latter likely remains ahead in the Hart Trophy conversation with the Avs off to a league-best 26-2-7 start. MacKinnon is on pace for an unreal total of 70 goals and 142 points, and while that level of goal-scoring would be tough to maintain, the second 140-plus point season of his career wouldn't be a shocking outcome if he stays healthy.

Gabriel Landeskog - Records two helpers in win Landeskog recorded two assists, including one on the power play, placed four shots on net, served two PIM and had four hits in Sunday's 5-1 win over Minnesota.

Impact Landeskog chipped in with a helper on two of Colorado's first three goals, including one on Cale Makar's power-play tally in the second period. With the pair of helpers, Landeskog is up to 12 assists, 18 points, 75 shots on net and 53 hits through 35 games this season. The 33-year-old forward has remained a steady fantasy option over the last five games with four points, 15 shots on net, 12 hits and five blocks. He is one of the Avs' strongest category coverage forwards in fantasy, giving him an added boost on top of his offensive potential while playing top-line minutes alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas. Landeskog is a solid option in most standard leagues moving forward.

Cale Makar - Adds three points in win Makar scored a power-play goal, tallied two assists and fired seven shots on net in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Makar played a hand in all three goals scored by Colorado across the first two periods of Sunday's contest. He assisted the tallies scored by Martin Necas and Nathan MacKinnon before scoring himself on a power play before the end of the second. With the three-point effort, Makar is up to 11 goals, 32 assists, 105 shots on net and 61 blocks through 35 appearances this season. After failing to find the scoresheet for just the third time since the start of November, Makar bounced back in a big way to help the Avs' defeat the Wild, where he outdueled the newly-acquired elite defenseman Quinn Hughes along the way. Makar remains the undisputed top blueliner to have in fantasy and is currently on pace for the century mark in points, which would be a new career high if he can continue his current quantity of production.

Martin Necas - Nets opening goal Sunday Necas scored a goal, put three shots on net and dished out two hits in Sunday's 5-1 win over Minnesota.

Impact Necas sparked the Avs' offense to a big night with his goal near the end of the first period. After Sunday's performance, he is up to 16 goals, 47 points, 77 shots on net and 34 hits through 35 games this season. The 26-year-old forward has 19 points in his last 13 games and remains one of the top players to own in any fantasy format this season. He has also begun to average a higher number of shots on net per game with 28 during his previous 13 outings. Necas is on pace to obliterate his current career high of 83 points in 79 regular-season games and has a true chance to surpass the century mark this season if Colorado's offense continues to roll.

Mackenzie Blackwood - Excels in net Sunday Blackwood turned aside 28 of 29 shots on goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Blackwood thrived in Sunday's contest, as he allowed just one even-strength goal near the five-minute mark of the third period. With the win, he is up to an 11-1-1 record with a .924 save percentage and a 2.16 GAA across 13 appearances this season. Sunday's victory brought the 29-year-old's win streak up to five games. Very few netminders across the league have been better than Blackwood when he is healthy, as he currently ranks third in save percentage and fifth in GAA among goalies who have appeared in double-digit games this season. He and Scott Wedgewood are a true one-two punch in net for Colorado, giving both elite fantasy value in all league formats. Blackwood will likely get a game of rest Tuesday before having a solid chance to play Saturday against the Golden Knights.
