This is a 7* play on Colorado.

I like the AVS to roll in this one, just like they did at home against Ottawa earlier in the season. It was a 6-3 win out in Denver back in late October. Colorado won its last game by that same score, only in Toronto, which is obviously a heck of a lot more impressive. Tonight wraps up a five-game road trip up in Canada with the Senators being the weakest opponent of the five. While both of these teams have struggled recently, Ottawa's struggles are season-long while Colorado's are simply confined to the last month. The Senators give up the most shots and goals per game in the league. So I expect Colorado's famed top line of MacKinnon-Rantanen-Landeskog to dominate the puck tonight. That line alone should be enough to own an Ottawa team returning home after a California road trip. Having three days off is nice, but for the Senators it's not nearly enough to make up the difference in talent they face in tonight's matchup. Play on COLORADO
