San Jose at Colorado

San Jose has a winning record both home and away anchored by a great defense that is fifth in the NHL in goals allowed, and fourth in penalty killing. Joe Thornton (11 goals, 32 points) is heating up by scoring in three consecutive games. The Sharks have won three in a row outscoring the opposition by a 13-8 count and are 36-11-14 UNDER the total when playing on one day of rest. They are also 25-12-5 UNDER after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. Colorado is on a nice run but still has plenty of flaws at #19 in goals allowed. The Avalanche are 14-44 against the Western Conference, including 4-22 versus the Pacific Division. The Sharks are 37-18 in the last 55 meetings, including a sweep last season outscoring Colorado by an 8-4 count. Play San Jose on the puckline and also take the UNDER.
