I can't see any offense happening in this one. Colorado is #17 in the NHL in goals scored and #25 on the power play. At least they have good penalty killing potential, ranked #3 in the NHL. The UNDER is 4-1 in the Avalanche's last five games when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game. Calgary did in a 5-2 win over Arizona, but this is a very good Calgary defense at #12 in goals allowed. Calgary gave up its first goal in nearly 149 minutes in Tuesday's opening period against Arizona, so this defense has been on a roll. The UNDER is 4-1-1 when the Flames face a team with a winning percentage below .400. Only one way to go here - this one stays UNDER.
