Vancouver at Colorado

Both teams are battling for playoff spots and Colorado has won four of its last five and comes off another overtime loss. However, the Avalanche still is in better form than the Canucks, who have lost three of their last four and eight of their last 11 games. Vancouver did manage to beat the hapless Anaheim Ducks 4-0 on Monday, but the Canucks still have scored a total of eight goals their last four games. Semyon Varlamov is probable in goal for Colorado and he owns a 2.82 goals-against average and .911 save percentage. The Canucks are 20-43 their last 63 road games and 19-42 their last 61 games as road underdogs. Colorado is in double-revenge mode after losing twice to the Canucks this season. Play the Avalanche.
