San Jose at Colorado

Colorado simply needs to win to continue to entertain playoff hopes. Expect a top effort from the Avs here. Here at home Colorado is quite good, averaging 3.1 goals per game while allowing just 2.4. The Sharks are a great team, but certainly not invincible on the road. They allow 31 shots on goal per game and the Avs are 30-15 this season vs. teams that allow 30+ per game. San Jose is playing their third straight road game here and they are just 9-16 the past two seasons in that situation. I like Colorado to get the win.
