San Jose at Colorado

Colorado has had trouble scoring recently, but the Avalanche are getting good performances from Philipp Grubauer, who is 3-2 with a 2.01 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Grubauer was in goal as the Avs split two games with Anaheim, winning the first 3-2 in overtime and then losing 3-1. Colorado will have better luck tonight against San Jose, which is 5-11 its last 16 games as an underdog, and the Avalanche is 46-22 its last 68 games playing with one day of rest. Also, Colorado has won six in a row after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game dating to last season. Colorado outshot the Ducks 33-14 in a losing effort on Sunday, and look for the Avs to cash in on more opportunities tonight. Take the Avalanche.
