Montreal at Colorado

Montreal prefers to slow the pace down and focus on defense and that's the plan tonight in the thin Denver mountain air. They are a dog to a weak all-around Colorado team ranked #14 in goals scored, #15 on the power play, #23 in goals allowed and #22 in penalty killing. Colorado comes home from a 4-1 loss at Buffalo as a favorite and is on a 0-3-1 run at home. The Avs went 0-for-9 on the power play in the last two games and are 1-for-23 in the last eight at home. Colorado is also 2-7-1 at home against a team with a losing road record and 6-2-1 UNDER the total against a losing team. Play Montreal and the UNDER.
