Los Angeles at Colorado

The Kings put their backs to the wall with a horrific start as they found the win column just three times in their first 11 games this season. Their season record doesn't look healthy, but their play in their last 15 has been, where they sport an above .500 mark. The Avalanche has teetered back and forth from being good to being bad. They have had losing streaks of three games and five games as well as three game and five-game winning streaks. You have to pick your spots carefully on or against this team, and right now indications are against, as they have recorded just a single win in their last three times out, and it required a shootout to get it. Their topsy-turvy play shows them going just 1-4 after posting a win in their last five, so this is a good spot to find a live dog. I'll grab the Kings here.
