Florida has a winning record both home and away. They have home ice for this one against an underachieving Colorado team that is a long way from home. Colorado is #23 in goals scored and #22 in goals allowed with a terrible power play. After Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to Carolina, the Avalanche have scored three goals in consecutive losses to begin this trip, which concludes with stops in Tampa Bay and St. Louis. The last-place, offensively challenged Hurricanes pelted them with 46 shots, and over the last five games, the Avalanche are facing an average of 43.2. Colorado is 7-19 on the road while Florida is 5-1 at home following a road trip of seven or more days. Take Florida.
