The Colorado Avalanche will be putting their seven-game winning streak on the line as they welcome the Los Angeles Kings to town. These two teams met on the opening night of this season and the Avalanche won that game by a score of 4-1. The Avalanche are extremely dominant on home ice to put it simply. They have not lost in regulation time, and have a record of 15-0-2. Their team stats are so good that it makes picking against them very difficult. They are ranked first in both offense and defense, averaging an impressive 3.97 goals for and 2.19 goals against per game. They are going up against the second-best defensive team in the league that averages 2.49 goals against per game. It is the play at the offensive end of the ice that is holding the Kings back from being great. They average only 2.59 goals per game.

The leading point scorer on the Kings is Adrian Kempe who has only 31 points on the year. The Avalanche have four players with 30 points or more. The offensive abilities of these teams will be the difference in this game. I will be siding with the potent offense of the Avalanche in this one.
