Washington at Colorado

The Washington Capitals are a very good hockey team that is playing hot right now. They have tasted defeat just twice in their last nine games. The Avalanche started out hot, but have faded with just six regulation wins in their last 18 games, and have followed a win with five losses in their last seven. The Washington Capitals have never been intimidated coming to Colorado, and have a good track record against the Avalanche as they are 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings. I'll go with Washington in this one.
