The Avalanche got off to a big start but has struggled some lately. The Canuck's have an impressive 7-2 mark at home and will be glad to get back on home ice after dropping three of their last four on a five-game road trip. The Canucks’ success on home ice is simple - they have allowed a total of 12 goals in their last eight played here. When you consider the that Red Wings put up five of them, that means just seven allowed in the other seven games, or one per contest. The Avalanche went for three goals or more in seven of eight road games, which propelled them to a lofty road mark, but most recently they have not been the same offensively on the road as they have scored just 10 in their last five, or two per contest. This will be the third game in four nights for the Avalanche, and the previous six in this situation have all gone UNDER the total. The Canucks are 6-1 to the UNDER in their last seven vs. a winning team, and five of the last six in this series have also gone UNDER. I'll go UNDER here.
