Detroit at Colorado

You know the Red Wings are about to breakout. After opening with two losses in Sweden, the Wings have yet to claim a win on the road, so they will be hungry here and good teams that are hungry make for good wagers. The Avalanche will surely get their attention with their perfect 3-0 home mark, and already owning a loss to them will make this one extra intense from the effort side of the Red Wings. The Avalanche are sliding against the Western Conference at just 4-15 in their last 19, and look out below when their opponent is off a poor offensive display of two goals or less as the Avalanche has crashed at 5-23 in their last 28! The Red Wings are 19-7 in the last 26 meetings and that includes being 16-5 in their last 21 in Colorado. The Wings are hungry here and Colorado is in a bad spot. Detroit gets the call.
