Colorado at Carolina

Both these teams consider themselves Stanley Cup contenders. Colorado has started a six game road trip coming off the break, and the first two did not turn out well, but the Avs are equipped to avoid extensive losing streaks. Since the start of the 2021 season the Avalanche are 18-10 following two losses, and they have three wins in their last four following a pair of losses as a road dog. The Hurricanes lost on a third period goal to open the second-half of the season on home ice. Carolina has not been able to handle this Colorado team as they have dropped four straight to them with a total score of 11-20, so they haven't been close. Make the play on Colorado.
