Game review

Colorado Avalanche beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2, taking control in the second period after a tied first and never letting Chicago answer. Jaden Schwartz scored twice for Colorado, while T.J. Hughes added two assists and Nazem Kadri finished with two points. Wyatt Kaiser led Chicago with a goal and a point, and Ryan Donato had an assist.

The team stats explain the gap. Colorado scored on the power play while Chicago did not, won 56.3 percent of faceoffs, and posted more takeaways and blocked shots. Chicago had more hits, but the Avalanche’s special-teams edge and puck control in the middle of the game made the difference.

For bettors, against the closing spread of Blackhawks 1.5, Colorado covered by 1.5. The closing total of 6.5 went over by 0.5.
