Los Angeles at Colorado

Tough times in the Rockies with the Avalanche sitting at an ugly 6-12 over their last 18 contests, where they have managed to light the lamp just 37 times in the 18 games. Obstacles confront them once again tonight as the LA Kings come to Colorado with the third fewest goals allowed in the NHL at 131. The Kings have allowed two or less in nine of their last 11 games, so you can expect at the very least they are in this one to win it late. The Rockies resume against the West amongst the NHL's worst as they come into this one at 23-54 in their last 77. The Kings are rising up after being tagged for a five spot or better at 5-1 over their last six in the next contest. Los Angeles in this one.
