Colorado at Nashville

Colorado is a huge dog but has played well in the series, with the goal tally being even at 11-11 the last three games. Colorado has excellent balance across the board, #10 in goals scored, eighth on the power play during the regular season, while the defense finished #14 in goals allowed, fourth in penalty killing. Despite a 3-2 loss the last game they were only outshot 34-33. Colorado center Alexander Kerfoot has scored a goal in two of his last three contests and four of eight this month, while Captain Gabriel Landeskog has scored a goal in three straight contests to boost his point total to nine (four goals, five assists) in his last five games. Nashville is home but will be without forward Ryan Hartman, who was suspended one game. This shapes up as another close one, so back the big dog and play on Colorado.
