Want to let everyone know who cares about hockey that I will address the awesome NHL Frozen Frenzy in the Tuesday newsletter for SL subscribers but also plan to post a story on the CBS Sports betting site with one lean on all 16 games (will play at least a half unit on all) and Grand Salami, etc. New Jersey has won an NHL-best eight in a row, but this is an immediate payback spot for the Avs after losing in OT in Newark on Sunday. And we always play Colorado at less than -150 at home (best home-ice advantage in the league for years I believe) unless major injuries. NJ, though, is down two rotation guys in blueliner Brett Pesce and center Cody Glass.

The Colorado Avalanche return home after a tough stretch, losing four consecutive games by just one goal, with three of those decided in overtime or a shootout. This game serves as a revenge matchup for Colorado following their 4-3 overtime loss on Sunday, where both teams had an equal number of shots at 24. The New Jersey Devils are traveling the longest distance of their season and currently rank as the third luckiest team in the league, with a shooting percentage of 13.5% and a .905 save percentage. Colorado has a shot differential of +86, while the Devils have a differential of +28. I like the home team in this spot.
