Trends
Pittsburgh is 41-15 in their last 56 games against the Central and 0-4 in their last 4 games. The under is 5-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 6 games. Colorado is 5-0 in their last 5 games played on one day of rest and 41-19 in their last 60 games against the East. The under is 4-1 in Colorado’s last 5 home games. The home team is 6-2 in these two teams last 8 head to head meetings.
Pick
Colorado comes into this game playing like one of the best teams in the NHL and has won five games in a row. The Avalanche have scored five goals in each of their last three games and will be facing a Pittsburgh team that has lost four games in a row. The Penguins have only scored three goals in their last three games and are going to have a tough time generating chances against a very good Colorado defense. I like the Avs here.
