First-place Anaheim knows how to play defense, off a 3-2 win over the LA Kings as part of a three-game win streak allowing 2, 2, and 1 goal. They face a Colorado team that has caught fire anchored by some good defense on a 5-2-1 run UNDER the total. They come off a 5-2 win last night at Arizona and the UNDER is 6-2-1 when the Avalanche plays on no days of rest. The offense is #21 in the NHL in scoring, #29 on the power play, and they will be content to play a defensive game. Colorado is also 3-0-1 UNDER the total against a team with a winning record so this shapes up as a slow paced, defensive duel. Play this one UNDER the total.
