After a frustrating showing in Game 3, tonight\u2019s Avalanche<\/a> vs. Wild predictions set up as a prime bounce-back spot for Colorado<\/a>\u2019s star defenseman to make an impact offensively.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s break down my NHL picks<\/a> for Monday, May 11.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Added a prediction for who will win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Avalanche vs Wild Game 4 predictionWho will win Avalanche vs Wild Game 4?<\/p>\n

Avalanche: The Colorado Avalanche<\/a> tend to respond very quickly following losses. While they definitely weren\u2019t good enough in Game 3, they still managed to generate 4.39 expected goals and a whole batch of chances. That they\u2019ve done that every single game bodes well for their outlook in Game 4 and the series.<\/p>\n

Avalanche vs Wild best bet: Cale Makar Over 0.5 assists (-155)<\/p>\n

Cale Makar<\/a> is always lauded for his ability to control the game from the back end and have his hand in everything \u2014 and it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

The superstar Colorado Avalanche<\/a> defenseman has picked up a point in at least 57% of the on-ice goals in four consecutive seasons, and never below 52%.<\/p>\n

So far in these playoffs? We\u2019re talking 35%. The Avalanche are piling up the goals, chances, and shots with Makar out there, and he\u2019s driving a lot of it. He just isn\u2019t getting many points.<\/p>\n

Given how many touches he gets every single night, and the kind of minutes he plays, that is bound to change.<\/p>\n

Avalanche vs Wild Game 4 same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Martin Necas<\/a> has recorded three shots on goal in each game this series, and his attempt volume has progressively increased each game. Necas has Makar behind him a lot at 5-on-5, and the latter facilitates a lot on the power play, making the two highly correlated.<\/p>\n

Going the other way, it\u2019s hard not to get excited about Mats Zuccarello<\/a>. He has averaged 2.7 shots on 5.0 attempts in this series and recorded multiple shots in 11 of the past 13 games against the Avalanche. They pay a ton of respect to Kirill Kaprizov<\/a>, which opens things up for Zuccarello.<\/p>\n

Avalanche vs Wild Game 4 goal scorer pickNazem Kadri<\/a> (+295)<\/p>\n

Nazem Kadri<\/a> has recorded 15 shots on goal through three games, tying him for first among all players in the series. He is getting a lot of looks around the net, and his presence on the top power-play unit makes him a very strong value at this price.<\/p>\n
