Anaheim at Colorado

Anaheim continues to shine atop the Pacific Division, outscoring opponents by +11 goals, third best in the NHL. You need good defense on the road and the Ducks are strong, second in the NHL in goals allowed and ninth in killing penalties. The Ducks are off a 2-1 victory at the Dallas Stars. Frederik Andersen had 21 saves, improving to 7-1-0 with a 1.60 goals-against average. The Ducks have killed all but three of their last 27 penalties, including all six the last game. The Ducks are 31-13 against a team with a losing record. They face a Colorado team with new faces that has yet to get going, a big disappointment on a 3-11 run. Colorado is 22nd in goals scored and 19th in goals allowed. It's the second of a back to back spot, off a 3-2 loss at St. Louis last night, and the Avalanche is 14-44 playing on no days rest. Anaheim is 20-7 in the last 27 meetings, including 8-3 here in Colorado. Play Anaheim.
