Connor Hellebuyck won his Devils debut in Dallas on Tuesday, 5-1, and New Jersey has won four straight. Jake Allen is reported to get the net tonight in the second half of the back-to-back. Opponents scored one goal in each of the last three wins, over Anaheim, Los Angeles and Dallas, and the Devils used three different goalies to do it: Daws, Allen and Hellebuyck. Los Angeles put only 13 shots on Allen in his turn on Saturday. Colorado won't be a new problem for New Jersey, which beat the Avalanche 4-3 at home on October 20 in a seven-goal game. In Colorado's most recent outing, a 6-2 loss at Nashville, the Predators scored four power-play goals on seven chances, and the Avalanche managed two goals on 21 shots. That was the third loss in four games for a 6-5-1 Colorado club. New Jersey has built its run on shutting down shooters, and a back-to-back with a veteran in net doesn't change how the Devils defend. With Colorado held to three goals or fewer in four of its last six games, I make the UNDER the right play tonight.
