The Colorado Avalanche head to Enterprise Center on Tuesday night for an 8:00 PM ET start against the St. Louis Blues in the back half of a home-and-home set. Colorado enters 50-16-10, first in the Central and still chasing the Presidents’ Trophy, while St. Louis is 33-31-12 and trying to keep its late push alive in the Western wild-card race. Sunday’s 3-2 Blues win in Denver changed the feel of this matchup a bit. It gave St. Louis real momentum, and it reminded bettors that this number is not just about season-long talent. That urgency matters now. The Blues have gone 6-1-1 over their last eight, and Robert Thomas comes in off his first career hat trick, while Colorado still

Cincinnati heads into loanDepot park on Tuesday night trying to keep a four-game winning streak alive, and this is a much more interesting handicap than the records alone suggest. The Reds are 7-3 and a perfect 4-0 on the road, while Miami is 6-4, 5-2 at home, and still sitting in a decent early position despite Monday’s 2-0 loss in the opener of this four-game set. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. ET, with Andrew Abbott drawing the start for Cincinnati against Sandy Alcantara in what looks like one of the better pitching matchups on the board. That opener matters, but maybe not in the obvious way. Cincinnati won behind another strong pitching effort and a timely RBI single

Dallas enters at 45-20-12 with 102 points and has already clinched a playoff spot, but the recent slide has tightened the race for second in the Central and made home ice in a likely first-round series feel much less secure. Calgary is 32-36-8, still hanging on mathematically, and coming in with a spoiler mindset after a much-needed road win. That is what makes this game interesting from a betting angle. Dallas still has the stronger roster and the higher ceiling, but

Vegas heads into Vancouver on Tuesday night at Rogers Arena looking for a three-game season sweep and a fourth straight win under John Tortorella. The Golden Knights are 35-26-16 and sitting right in the middle of the Pacific race, just one point behind Edmonton for the division lead. Vancouver is 22-46-8, already eliminated, and trying to stop another slide after dropping eight of its last nine. Puck drop is set for 10:00 p.m. ET, and the market has Vegas installed as a clear road favorite. There is some real urgency on the Vegas side here. This is not just another late-season road game. The Golden Knights have standings pressure, better form, and a chance to tighten their grip on home-ice
