Colorado at Edmonton

Colorado is playing well right now having won eight of their last nine games. Edmonton is just the opposite having dropped eleven in a row. But, this level of play from the Avs can't continue. They just aren't that good of a team. They are off a draining OT game against San Jose in which they came back from two goals down to win. The Avalanche are 7-13 the past two seasons off a close home win by 1 goal. Edmonton is close to .500 at home, they just haven't had any offense to speak of. Against Colorado, they should be able to score. Colorado is only 18-20 this season as a favorite. Edmonton is off a 1-2 loss to Vancouver and the Oilers are 10-1 the past two seasons off a 1 goal loss to a division rival. We'll take Edmonton +1.5 on the puck line here knowing they have a chance to win but if not, should keep it close.
