The Islanders lack of defense is fully exposed on the road where they have given up at least three goals in six of their past eight away contests.

Colorado has gone Over the total in its last six games. The Avalanche rank No. 3 in scoring and also have a deadly power play that ranks No. 3, too. Shoddy goaltending and defense, though, have hurt the Avalanche. Colorado has yielded four or more goals in five of its last six games.

The two teams have gone Over in their last three meetings, too.
