Colorado continues to win as it clearly is the best team in the NHL at this point of the season. The Avalanche have won 19 of 26 games, and they come off a 3-1 victory over Vancouver on Tuesday. Nathan MacKinnon continued his stellar play with two goals, and Scott Wedgewood combined with MacKenzie Blackwood to stop 20 of 21 shots for the Avalanche, who have won six of seven against teams with winning records. New York has lost six of eight home games and five of seven versus the Central Division. The Islanders have lost three of four, although they did get a 2-1 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday. New York has scored just nine goals in six games, and it lost the first meeting 4-1 on Nov. 16. Blackwood is likely to start, and he is 6-0-1 with a 1.84 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage for Colorado. Take the Avalanche.

New York at Colorado
Colorado has won 15 of 19 home games and it has won five of the past six meetings with New York, including 7-4 in the only one this season on Oct. 24. The Avalanche have won two in a row and seven of 10 after defeating San Jose 3-1 on Sunday for their fourth UNDER is six games. Valeri Nichushkin had a goal and an assist for Colorado, which outshot the Sharks 33-11 and Alexandar Georgiev had to stop only 10 of 11 shots to get the win. Georgiev is likely tonight and he is 19-8-2 with a 2.86 GAA and he has won four of his past five starts. Colorado has won five of six as a home favorite -151 to -200 and the Islanders are 2-8 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. The UNDER is 7-1-1 in New York's past nine games versus Central Division foes and the Avalanche have gone UNDER five of six playing with one day of rest. The Islanders have lost four of their past seven games. Take the Avalanche (Max Play), and bet the UNDER.
