Colorado at Nashville

Colorado kept it close until the third period, but Filip Forsberg was too much for the Avalanche as he scored twice in the final period to rally the Predators. Avalanche players will be better prepared for this one as many of them had not had much playoff experience and goalie Jonathan Bernier held his own for two periods and he has a 2.85 goals-against average on the season and .913 save percentage and a 19-13-3 record. The Avalanche failed on three power plays, but it still has the speed to stay with Nashville and if it can somehow keep Forsberg in check then Colorado has a chance. The Avalanche is 7-1 its last eight games against an opponent that scored five goals or more its previous game. Play the Avalanche on the puckline.
