San Jose at Colorado

The Colorado Avalanche are facing a game sixelimination, as they are down 3 games to 2 to the Sharks. It was not a good close to the season for the Avalanche who came out on the right side of just 3 of their last 13, and have tasted victory in this playoff series by virtue of two overtime wins. San Jose really tagged the Avalanche in game five by the count of 5-0, as the Avalanche were never really in the game. The Sharks are playing to a 38-16 mark in their last 54 on one day of rest, and a telltale sign for the Avalanche is the fact they have not bounced back from a big 3 goal or more loss where they are 0-5. I'll back San Jose to close this one out.
