Neither of these teams is strong defensively, nor in the nets. Colorado is going with a back-up goalie here.

The Avalanche have scored four or more goals in half of their games. They play an up-tempo style and should be aggressive here to take advantage of Arizona's youth and bad defense. The Coyotes surrender the most goals and shots in the league.

The Coyotes are a top-10 scoring team, though.

Colorado has gone above the total in eight of its last 11 games dating back to last season. The over also has cashed the past five times these teams played one another in Arizona.
