Both teams have goaltenders that can step up and shut teams down and good defenses it is their offenses that will shine in this one. The over is 4-1 in the past 5 head-to-head meetings in this rivalry, as well as a 3-0-1 mark in the past 4 matchups in Colorado. The Red Wings are 16-5-2 to the over in their past 23 games when their opponent scores 5 or more in their last game, and the Avalanche are 4-1 to the over in their past 5 games at home. Colorado put up seven in their last game and even though they won't get that many here, both teams will score enough to put this one over the number.

Play on the OVER.
