The Colorado Avalanche are off to a fast start, entering this matchup with the Anaheim Ducks with a 3-1-0 record. Much like last season I think we'll see the Avs fade soon enough though, and this looks like a very reasonable price on Anaheim. Colorado is coming off a 6-3 win against the Bruins but are 5-16 in their last 21 after scoring five goals or more in their previous game and 10-45 in their last 55 vs. Western Conference. We can also note that the Avs have a matchup with the Stars at Dallas on deck tomorrow.

My selection is an 8* play on Anaheim Ducks.
