Detroit at Colorado

Just like last year, Detroit has played itself out of the postseason picture with another March swoon, losing nine of 12 games. The Red Wings are 1-12 the past 13 meetings with Colorado and they have lost six of their past seven road games, although they did manage to get a 5-1 win at Utah last night. Detroit is in a back-to-back here, and traveling with no rest up to the Mile High City will be a challenge. The Avalanche have won four of five following a 5-4 shootout victory over Montreal on Saturday. Colorado has won nine straight home games and 10 of 12 overall. Both teams have gone UNDER four of five Tuesday games and Detroit is 6-1-1 UNDER as an underdog of +201 or greater, 4-1-1 UNDER as a dog overall. The Avalanche are 5-1 UNDER their past six against teams with losing road records. The Red Wings have lost six of seven versus teams with winning records. Take the Avalanche and the UNDER.
