Colorado at Columbus

The Avalanche have lost exactly 1 game in the last 17 vs. Columbus. Colorado comes in at 5-6 thanks to poor defense. They are scoring 3.4 per game but giving up 3.1. Tonight they get the Blue Jackets who don't post much of an offensive threat. Columbus is scoring 2.1 per game on the season and over their past five games, that's dipped to 1.4 per game. Colorado, over the past two seasons is 17-2 vs. bad teams that have been outscored by opponents by 0.3+ goals per game. They are also 75-36 over hte past decade as a road favorite up to -150 and they are 16-1 the past two seasons off 2+ days of rest. Colorado's offense way too much for Columbus to keep up with here. Love the small price on the Avs.
