This is the third straight road game on this East Coast swing for Colorado. The Avalanche are on a 5-4 run UNDER the total and face a rested Pittsburgh team playing its fifth straight home contest. The Penguins are getting good news for the defense as No. 1 goaltender Matt Murray is back from a lower-body injury that has sidelined him the past five games. Coach Mike Sullivan is still experimenting with a number of different lineups and combinations on offense, trying to figure out which ones they'll be able to rely on when the games start to matter more later in the season. When these teams last met, the Penguins won 4-1 with Colorado getting just 28 shots. Colorado didn't score until there was just four minutes left, and this total is too high. Play this game to stay UNDER the total.
