Philadelphia at Colorado

The Colorado Avalanche really found the magic at the start of last season, but have failed to recapture that since. They have been a below .500 team from that point on, and it has continued into this season. Colorado is just 7-8-3 at home, and hasn't been an effective team on home ice all season. Philadelphia has lost their last two games, but this has been a successful road trip. Heading into the sixth game, they are 3-2 and have out-scored their opponents in the process. The Flyers have not been effective on the road until this long trip, and have a chance to come away from an eight-game road trip feeling pretty good about themselves, and have a winnable game here. Play on Philadelphia.
