(NHL) Colorado vs. Edmonton,
Money Line: -140.00 Colorado (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -140.00 Colorado (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Colorado Avalanche.
The Avs are a desperate team and desperation is often a factor in which the oddsmakers have a hard time properly quantifying into a line. That's the case here in my opinion, I think the visitors come to play today and find a way to get the job done once the final horn blares. Colorado hasn't been helping itself, it's coming off back to back losses, most recently in Calgary on Monday. The Avs are 11th in the West with ten games remaining: "I will never say never," Colorado coach Patrick Roy assessed last night. "This is a team that I'm proud of. When you're wearing the Avalanche logo, you battle. ... Every time you're going to be on the ice, you're going to compete." The Avs reamin tough on the penalty kill, opponents have failed on all 16 man advantages in the team's last eight road contests and it's killed 31 of 32 penalties over the last 14 games overall. Edmonton continues to limp towards the finish line, it's most recently coming off a 4-1 home loss to Winnipeg on Monday and is allowing an average of 4.3 goals in losing 11 of its last 14 (note that the Oilers have also allowed opponents to go 10 of 29 on the power play in their last eight games). Note that the Avs are 19-11 (+8.1 units) this season vs. teams with losing records, while Edmonton is just 13-38 (-18.2 units) in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent. Look for COLORADO to get back into the winners circle tonight.
