This is the end of a four-game road trip for Colorado on the East Coast. Colorado's defense is much improved, ranked second in the NHL in goals allowed and third in penalty killing. The Avalanche is 63-40 UNDER the total after two or more consecutive road victories, but this is a tough situational spot, its sixth road game in the last seven contests. Meanwhile, Philadelphia is playing its fourth home game in the last five contests, is off a 5-2 home victory over New Jersey, and ranked in the Top 10 in goals scored. In their four wins this season, they've dominated by outscoring the opposition 23-13. After a rough start, Philadelphia goalie Brian Elliott has yielded seven goals on 65 shots in his last three games, beating New Jersey and Florida, while losing 1-0 to Vegas. The UNDER is 17-5 when the Flyers face the Central Division. Colorado has lost five of the last seven meetings in Philadelphia. This is a great spot for a one-sided win by the home team in a defensive battle. Play Philadelphia on the Puckline and the UNDER.
