Edmonton comes into this game on a three game losing streak and has allowed 16 goals in their last three games, while Colorado has won three of their last four games. Edmonton will have the advantage of Colorado being on a back to back, but they will need to play better defense to get the win. Colorado won the first meeting between these teams by a score of 3-2 in overtime. I am going to take Edmonton in this game, with them being the better-rested team.
