Colorado at Boston

Colorado has beaten Boston four times in a row, including 6-3 in November, and the Avalanche are due to break through after suffering two consecutive overtime losses at Washington and the New York Islanders. Colorado lost last night when New York's Ryan Pulock scored his second goal of the game 2:23 into overtime to spoil a good outing by Semyon Varlamov, who had 37 saves. Boston also had to go overtime to beat Los Angeles, 5-4, when Patrice Bergeron scored a power-play goal at 2:34 of overtime after the Bruins scored three times in the third period. This will produce a letdown situation for the Bruins, who have lost to the Avalanche 10 straight times at home. Boston has lost four of its last five following a win, and Colorado is 10-4 its last 14 games versus the Atlantic Division. Take the Avalanche.
