Analysis
My selection is on the 'under' between Vancouver and Colorado at 8:35 pm et on Wednesday. The Avalanche are coming off an extremely high-scoring affair on Monday against Calgary as the Flames were in the wrong place at the wrong time with Colorado coming off a disappointing home loss. While the matchup is similar on Wednesday with the lowly Canucks rolling into Denver, I do think Vancouver can at least offer some resistance. The Canucks are 0-2 to start their current four-game road trip with losses in Calgary and Las Vegas. For the Avs this is a bit of a tough spot as they'll undoubtedly have a difficult time avoiding glancing ahead at Saturday's showdown in Dallas. The nine goals they put up on Monday was certainly impressive but Colorado has produced four goals or less in nine of its last 12 contests. This isn't a game where the Avs figure to need to keep their foot on the gas for 60 minutes. Note that Vancouver has averaged just 2.3 goals per game over the last two months. The last time these two teams met they combined to score only four goals. That was back in early December so that matchup has been long forgotten by most bettors. Take the under (8*).
