Los Angeles at Colorado

Peter Forsberg is back with the Avs but likely won't play tonight. LA has found some offense of late and we look for a possible Colorado letdown tonight. The Avs are coming off a road trip in which they finished 3-1. Now they face lowly LA and Colorado is 3-8 in their last eleven home games. Teams off two straight road wins lose their next game more than they win it. The Kings are 7-4 this season on the road off a road loss and at this line, we like the value on them. Colorado has been less of an offensive team this year than in years past, and a better defensive club. No team has scored more than 3 on them in the last five games. They are 17-7 UNDER in their last 24 games. LA is coming off a road loss and is 44-28 UNDER the past three seasons in that situation. The Avs are 13-4 UNDER the past two seasons at home after three straight road games and 20-13 UNDER this season off a road game. They are also 9-3 UNDER this season after winning back-to-back games. LA and the UNDER in this one.
