Total: 5.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Push
The Kings are a below average defensive team that has a tendency to be out of position leaving them vulnerable to fast-skating aggressive opponents. Colorado is one such foe.
The Avalanche are more than capable of exploiting the Kings' weaknesses ranking first in the NHL in goals at 3.6 per game and firing the most shots on goal. Colorado has produced at least 3 goals in 15 of its last 18 games.
The Kings, who are averaging 3 goals per game during their last four games, catch a break in that Colorado goalie Philipp Grubauer is in the league's COVID-19 protocol list. So the Avalanche have to go with backup journeyman Devan Dubnyk, who is with his sixth NHL team. Grubauer was enjoying a huge season as one of the best goalies in the league.
