Colorado at Arizona

Colorado looks to get back on track after two losses against Vegas and Minnesota while the Coyotes will face tougher competition after beating the last-place Anaheim Ducks two in a row. The Avalanche has won four of the last five meetings, and those were in the playoffs in the bubble last year. Colorado is 8-1 its last nine games after losing by at least three goals and is also 4-1 after allowing five or more goals its previous game. The Avalanche has won 18 of its last 26 road games, and it is 51-24 playing with one day of rest. Arizona has lost four of its last five home games, and the Coyotes are 6-15 following a win. Philpp Grubauer has a sparking 2.01 goals-against average for the Avalanche while Darcy Kuemper hasn't been quite as sharp as previous seasons with a 6-7-2 record and 2.41 GAA. Take the Avalanche.
