When you look at the history of these two teams, you will notice that these two teams have played to the Over the last 3 times they have played with a total of 7 goals played the last 3 times they have met. The Islanders have now won 5 of their last 6 contests which is important to note as their offense is clicking. With Colorado coming off a win and possibly having a let down here against the Islanders who will likely score early and take the lead early, look for this game to go over the posted total as it will push Colorado as a solid favorite who will eventually come around and hold its own in the second and third periods. In essence, look for the Islanders to take an early lead, the Avalanche to even it up and eventually this contest likely gets to about 7 goals as we have it at 7 goals. The Over is 5-1 for the Islanders when they face a team with a winning record and the Over is also 4-1 for the Avalanche when they face a team with a winning percentage of less than 40% overall. With these solid cross trends, the OVER is a very solid play tonight!
