Schule's NHL LATE NIGHT SNACK
(NHL) Florida vs. Colorado, 10/21/2014 5:00 PM, Score: 4 - 3
Money Line: -171.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Colorado Avalanche.

The Avs have struggled so far, with just one win in six games. They should be hungry for a win tonight, as they host the Panthers at the Pepsi Center. Florida also has one win in six games, but that's expected from a team that has had a stranglehold on the Eastern Conference cellar for almost a decade.

Semyon Varlamov is still sidelined with a groin injury, but backup Reto Berra has been very sharp so far. He's only allowed one goal on 38 shots appearing in three games.

The Avs were 26-11-4 at home last season, finishing second in the Western Conference. Florida was 13-25-3 on the road last year, and only Buffalo had few points in the East.

The Panthers have lost five of their last seven trips to Denver, and they are in a tough spot here tonight, facing an Avs team desperately trying to get back on track.

Take COL.
