Avalanche vs Blue Jackets has drawn roughly $133.7K in volume by Tuesday morning, and the market has been fading Colorado overnight. As of Tuesday morning the Avalanche are 53c and the Blue Jackets 48c on both Kalshi and Polymarket, down from 56c on Kalshi Monday evening.

The Avalanche vs Blue Jackets board pits the NHL's top offense against the Metropolitan's last-place team, and the price is closer than the standings. Colorado has 64 goals in 15 games, 4.3 per game and first in the league per the AP preview, while Columbus has 29 goals in 12 games. Yet the moneyline sits only a few cents off even, because the Avalanche played in Chicago on Monday night.
Avalanche vs Blue Jackets Odds and Market Context
As of Tuesday morning the moneyline reads Avalanche 53c and Blue Jackets 48c on both Kalshi and Polymarket, with no cross-platform gap. The direction of travel is the story. In the captures we hold, which run from about 8:00 PM ET Monday to 10:30 AM ET Tuesday, Colorado fell from 56c to 53c on Kalshi and from 55c to 53c on Polymarket, while Columbus rose from 46c to 48c on both venues. That 3c slide came after Colorado's 5-2 win at Chicago on November 2 confirmed the back-to-back.
The records support a Colorado lean. The Avalanche are 9-5-1, second in the Central, 6-3-1 in their last 10 and on a three-game winning streak, with a plus-18 goal differential (64 for, 46 against). Columbus is 5-7-0, eighth in the Metropolitan, 4-6-0 in its last 10 and on a two-game losing streak after a 3-1 loss at Dallas on October 31. The Blue Jackets are 4-3-0 at Nationwide Arena; Colorado is 3-4-0 on the road, the weakest part of its profile.
The alternate markets price a Colorado win that is not a blowout. Avalanche -1.5 trades at 32.5c (33c Kalshi, 32c Polymarket) and Blue Jackets -1.5 at 28c. Over 5.5 goals sits at 60c on both venues and over 6.5 at 49c, so the market centers the total right at 6.5. Over 5.5 on Polymarket ticked up from 58c to 60c overnight.
Avalanche vs Blue Jackets Goaltending and Injuries
ESPN lists Scott Wedgewood as the confirmed Colorado starter and Jet Greaves as the expected Columbus starter as of November 3. Wedgewood carries a 3.48 GAA and .889 save percentage and Greaves a 3.11 GAA and .883, per ESPN goalie stats, so neither side brings a goaltending edge into a game priced near 6.5 goals.
Colorado is without defenseman Josh Manson (out, ankle, per ESPN as of October 30) and Zachary L'Heureux (injured reserve). The AP preview lists Isac Lundestrom out for Columbus with an Achilles injury. Nathan MacKinnon leads Colorado with 25 points and Artturi Lehkonen has 12 goals; Kent Johnson leads Columbus with 12 points and Zach Werenski has 10 assists. Kalshi prices MacKinnon to score at 41c and to score twice at 11c, the most-traded player prop on the board. This is the first of two meetings this season, per ESPN.
