A pair of weak offensive teams meet. Colorado is #23 in the NHL in goals scored and #29 on the power play. They come off a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh but the Avalanche is 11-25 in their last 36 road games. This team is also 9-4-2 UNDER the total when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game. They face a Columbus squad off a win at New Jersey as a dog, 3-2. Columbus prefers a slow, defensive game, and are #24 in the NHL in goals scored, and the Blue Jackets are 5-1 against the Central Division. When these teams meet the UNDER is 5-0 in Columbus, so grab the home team in a defensive battle. Take Columbus and the game UNDER the total.
