Colorado at New York

The Colorado Avalanche started on fire last season as they ran out of the gate a perfect 7-0. They carried that all the way to 15-2 through 17 games. The 15 wins showed a scoring summary of 51-18, and in the 15 wins not a single opponent got to 3 goals. This year has been a total reversal, and it is easy to see why. They have been shutout three times already on the season, and have scored 2 goals or less 11 times. The Rangers are off a shutout win, and their last two games have produced a total of just 9 goals. Also, just 12 of their last 42 on home ice have eclipsed the total, and none of their last eight vs. a team under .400 have gotten OVER the total. This one doesn't get there, so play on the UNDER.
