If there were such thing as a royal avalanche, tonight's game between the Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings would be it.

Both teams have been steamrolling the opposition over the last month, with the Kings winning nine of the previous 10 and the Avalanche picking up 11 victories from 13. 

Game time for this must-watch tilt is at 10 p.m. ET (ESPN) from Ball Arena in Denver, and my Kings vs Avalanche prediction and player props provide ample evidence to back the home favorites while featuring three high-value props.

📊 Kings vs. Avalanche pick & odds: Who will win tonight's NHL matchup?

As of 7 a.m. ET, the Avalanche are the -155 favorites to beat the Kings (+130) in tonight's NHL matchup at 10 p.m. ET from Ball Arena in Denver. I predict the Avalanche will win in regulation.

Here are the latest Kings vs. Avalanche odds and betting lines from our best live betting sites.

🎯 Kings vs. Avalanche score prediction: Avalanche 4, Kings 3

Backing the Avalanche to win in regulation is not ideal, but it's the pick with the most value. Part of me expects parity, parity, and more parity, which would be conducive an extra five minutes of hockey or a shootout.

Unfortunately, there is no value in picking either team to win by a goal unless you're bold enough to lock in "yes" on whether the game will go into overtime. 

You can get odds of +280 at DraftKing on that one.

I'm leaning toward the Avalanche due to their invincible form at Ball Arena, where they've reeled off 10 successive victories. It's been over two months since the Avs tasted defeat in the Mile High City. 

And while the Kings are just as white-hot, seven of their nine wins in the current fruitful patch occurred at Crypto.com Arena. Their one defeat in the previous 10 came on the road in Minnesota. Looking beyond the veneer of winning two of the last three in enemy barns, you'll find the Kings are rather peasant-like on the road.

Prior to their last three, the Kings lost eight of nine on their travels and are an unroyal 14-18-5 away from Crypto.com Arena. That's the 10th-worst road record.

While I can't see the Kings - with the tsunami of momentum they've built - playing poorly tonight, the Avs - among the Stanley Cup odds favorites - are currently too dominant in front of their fans. That's why I predict the Avs will win in regulation. 

Best bet: Avalanche 3-way ML (+100 via DraftKings)

Like an avalanche at the bottom of a mountain, Nichushkin is gaining a ton of momentum while making up for lost time. That's horrifying news for any team that comes across the Avs in the closing weeks and playoffs, notably their probable first-round opponent, Dallas. 

He scored against Detroit on Tuesday and lit the lamp four times in the previous six games. Three games prior to that bountiful stint, Nichushkin scored his first hat trick of the season, roasting the Toronto Maple Leafs at home. Of our best sportsbooks, bet365 is the outlier, offering a way superior price. 

📊 Best Valeri Nichushkin prop bet odds

🏒 Best Martin Necas prop pick: Over 2.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +115 via bet365 ($10 to win $11.50)

When Necas heard he got traded to the Avalanche, he must have been on cloud nine, as high as those standing on Colorado's most imperious mountain peak. And if you didn't already know, he's scorching the earth with his new team, consistently benefitting from Nathan MacKinnon's mastery. 

Necas is playing some of the most confident hockey of his career, resulting in a noticeable desire to fire the puck more liberally. He hit the Over on this prop in four of the last five games and six of the previous 10 home encounters. The plus-money odds offer better value than most Avalanche shooting props. 

📊 Best Martin Necas prop bet odds

🏒 Best Quinton Byfield prop pick: Over 1.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -130 via DraftKings ($10 to win $7.69)

With Los Angeles playing in such a formidable environment, I like Byfield's shooting prop's low, achievable total. And, when asking him to fire at least two shots on goal, he's pretty reliable.

Byfield hit the Over in three of the last four games and four of the previous six on enemy terrain. He won't get a ton of open looks, but registering two shots is something he's done in 29 of the last 43 encounters (67%). The -130 odds on this prop imply a 56.52% likelihood.
