Colorado at Nashville

Colorado has a couple of games in hand over Nashville and a razor-thin lead in the standings, and this game is a good measuring stick for each club. Both have five-game winning streaks coming into this contest, and I think the Avalanche are going to be a handful here as their offense is playing at about the highest level the league has seen for quite some time. This team has scored seven goals or more in five of its last 13 games. Overall, Colorado has scored 66 goals in its last 13 games or over 5.0 per contest. Nashville hosted Vegas on November 24 and allowed five goals and lost by three. I think Colorado is just as hot right now and maybe more so, and I look for them to get the road win. Make the play on Colorado.
