Detroit at Colorado

The oddsmakers are expecting a shootout in Colorado tonight, but I’m not sure if I agree with the lofty total posted in this one, especially in the early going. Detroit opened in an 8-goal barrage, winning 5-3 at home in their opener, has this total spiked a bit. The Avalanche produced just 2 goals in 21 power-play attempts last season vs. the Red Wings. Detroit has followed a 5+ scoring barrage by playing five of their last seven to the UNDER to close last year. The Avalanche have played low when posted as a dog of +110 to +150, where they closed last season at 7-2 to the UNDER in this role. Play this one UNDER the posted total.
