Colorado at Minnesota

The Colorado Avalanche etched themselves a place in history when they ended the Chicago Blackhawks' long streak. They were shutout 4-0 in their last game, and that does not bode well for them here. The Avalanche have had big problems finding the back of the net on the road, resulting in just 10 goals in their last six roadies at 1.67 per contest. Coming off a goose-egg at home isn't going to help their psyche here. The Wild will make it tough as their last 15 games have seen them allow 2 goals or less in 10 of them, and for the season they have allowed an average of 2 per contest on home ice. The Avalanche are just 24-49 in their last 73 on the road, and have had a tough time rebounding from a loss of 3 goals or more where they are a crippling 10-26 in their last 36. The Wild are invested in games vs. losing teams, winning five straight. It is going to be tough for the Avalanche to stop his Minnesota attack, as they have been brutal on the road where they have allowed 4 or more goals six times already, averaging 3.5 allowed per contest. This total is set low at 5. Colorado road games this season have averaged 5.6 goals and their division games have averaged a sky-high 6.4 per game. Play on Minnesota and take the OVER.
