Trends
Colorado is 5-1 in their last 6 road games and 36-16 in their last 52 games against the Atlantic. The under is 19-7-3 in Colorado’s last 29 road games. Toronto is 4-1 in their last 5 games against the Central and 37-14 in their last 51 home games. The over is 5-2-2 in Toronto’s last 9 home games. The over is 12-3-1 in these two teams last 16 head to head meetings.
Pick
Colorado comes into this game after winning three of their last four games and just put on a scoring clinic against the Canadiens in their last game. Toronto has won two of their last three games, but was out played pretty badly in the third period in their loss to Buffalo. Both of these teams have been good defensively for most of the season and I think we are going to see a lower scoring game. I like the under here.
