Colorado had an under record of 42-34-6 record in the regular season. The Avalanche saw an average of 6.06 goals per game last season. Los Angeles finished last season with the over going 42-36-4 in their games during the regular season. The Kings saw an average of 6.44 goals per game last season. On home ice, Los Angeles saw that number edge up slightly to 6.46 goals per game. Four straight meetings and six of the last eight matchups have gone over the number. Both of these teams were very good defensively last season. Last season the Avalanche allowed just the ninth-fewest goals in the NHL, an average of just 2.68 goals per game. The Kings gave up just the fourth-fewest expected goals per 60 minutes (2.84). I am looking for a defensive battle that just stays under the number.

Play on the UNDER this is a 2% play
