Los Angeles has been playing outstanding, and Colorado has been scoring plenty despite their ongoing inconsistent play. The Avs have allowed four goals in back-to-back games, and while the Kings have been playing great on the defensive end, I do expect Colorado to put the puck in the net on Sunday night. I expect 7+ goals in this one.

Just when the Avs looked to be taking flight, they were rocked back on their heels by consecutive losses at Arizona and Anaheim, which followed four straight dominant wins. Those losses were in OT and a shootout, respectively, and it was particularly galling yesterday against the Ducks after blowing a 3-1 lead. But now a rare chance to get the Avs at a plus price, and as good as the Kings have played this season, they have been more vulnerable at home than on the road. Play Avs on Money Line
