#23/24 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* OVER 6.5 Goals - Boston Bruins at Colorado Avalanche, Wednesday at 9:30 PM ET - Avalanche games are not only 3-0 to the over already this season, the games averaged 10 goals apiece! Even if you eliminate empty net goals from the equation, all 3 games totaled at least 7 goals and averaged 9 goals apiece! The Avalanche have had to pull starting goalie Georgiev in 2 of the 3 starts. His replacement Annunen allowed 4 goals in 52 minutes of combined ice time in those 2 appearances. Georgiev has a 6.58 GAA in his 3 starts this season! The concerning thing for the Avalanche is that they were in a desperate situation on home ice in the most recent game as they had started the season 0-2 plus had just lost their home opener and yet they still struggled badly. In fact, Colorado allowed 37 shots on goal in that game and got trounced 6-2 by the Islanders. Overall, though scoring just 2 in the most recent loss, the Avalanche have been solid in the offensive zone, including on the power play, but they have been dreadful on the penalty kill and in terms of goaltending too. Now they face a Bruins team that will be looking to respond off a 4-3 loss to Florida. Trouble for Boston is that the 4-3 defeat was the 3rd time in 4 games this season that they have allowed at least 4 goals. Korpisalo allowed 6 goals in his only start and Swayman allowed 4 goals in 2 of his 3 starts! Boston, like Colorado, has been quite consistent offensively. However, also like the Avalanche, the Bruins have been having some trouble keeping the puck out of their own net! 3 of 4 Bruins games have totaled at least 7 goals and those 3 games averaged 9 goals apiece. Our computer math model shows the highest probability of 8 to 9 goals here and we agree with the model in this one! Look for at least 7 in this one! Over is the play here.
