Carolina at Colorado

Carolina has had a decent road trip, winning at Dallas as a +150 dog before losing 3-2 at the defending champs. They face an underachieving Colorado team that hasn't got it going, even with a losing record at home. Last place Colorado is #27 in goals scored, #25 in goals allowed and #25 on the power play. Things are getting worse too, as the Avalanche's top goal scorer is out in forward Alex Tanguay. Colorado's 49 goals are among the fewest in the NHL, so it likely can't afford to be without Tanguay for too long after being held to two goals or fewer for the 12th time. They are also 1 for 23 over the last 24 power plays. Colorado is on a 6-16 run and the Avalanche are 3-7 in their last 10 home games. Take Carolina.
