This is a high NHL total because high-flying Dallas loves to attack on offense, but they run into a Colorado team that is playing some defense. Colorado is off a 3-0 win over Nashville and has allowed two goals or fewer in their last three wins. Colorado is on a 4-1 run UNDER the total and the UNDER is 7-2 when the Avalanche head out on the road. Dallas is home from a three-game road trip and Colorado won't want to get into an up-tempo game, so look for the visitors to control the pace. Play this one UNDER.
