Los Angeles at Colorado

Los Angeles hasn't played since Saturday and ranks #8 in the NHL in goals allowed. The Kings are on a 10-4 run, 5-2 on the road. Los Angeles is 2-0-1 since a three-game slide but needed more from Saturday's 1-0 overtime loss to Pittsburgh as they are in the playoff hunt. They catch a break here as Colorado is #23 in the NHL in goals scored, #22 in goals allowed and #29 on the power play. The Avalanche is 3-10 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. LA goalie Jonathan Quick has a 1.30 goals-against average during his three-game winning streak against the Avs. LA has owned this series too, at 5-1 in the last six meetings, so grab the champs and play the LA Kings.
