Arizona's style is to hang around hoping for a break since the Coyotes can't come close to matching Colorado's firepower.

The Coyotes were heavily outshot in Game 1, but that strategy was working because the score was 0-0 going into the final seven minutes. Then a controversial interference penalty was called on the Coyotes. Colorado scored on the power play and then added two more goals to win, 3-0.

The Avalanche is content to play Arizona's conservative, tight-checking style hoping to wear out the Coyotes like they did in Game 1.

Colorado held Arizona to only 14 shots on goal, but Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said his team is capable of playing better defense.

Note this game starts early - noon Edmonton time. Early starts often are a plus for the Under.
