It's Game 7, which means defense is going to be on display as somebody's season will be over. During the regular season, Seattle was 13th in goals given up and second in shots on goal allowed. Seattle is on an 8-1-1 run UNDER the total, including 5-0 UNDER on the road. They're also 22-11 UNDER after allowing 4 or more goals. Colorado is eighth in goals given up and fifth in save percentage on a 6-2-1 run UNDER. The Avalanche are without forward Valeri Nichushkin and it's hurt the offense with a lack of production from the third and fourth lines, forcing the second and first lines into logging more minutes. Colorado played two long series last year on the way to winning the Stanley Cup and both Game 6 clinchers went UNDER the total in 3-2 and 2-1 finals. They're 29-13 UNDER the total when playing their fourth game in seven days. Finally, the UNDER is 9-1 when these teams clash, including 5-0 UNDER in this building. Take Seattle/Colorado UNDER the total.
