Colorado may be 2-0 but both games were at home. This team was 15-19-7 on the road last year as part of a 17-51 run away from home. The Avalanche have an injury to captain Gabe Landeskog, who went to the X-ray room the last game and may not play. The left-winger has one goal and one assist in Colorado's first two games. Also, goalie Philipp Grubauer will make his first start for the Avalanche. Colorado is 23-55 when their opponent scores two or fewer goals in their previous game. They face a young Columbus squad that is well rested, home for the second straight game. The Blue Jackets are 12-3 when playing on three or more days rest, as well as 38-18 when playing only their second game in five days. Take Columbus.
