Colorado -½ +165 & +103 over FLORIDA

7:05 PM EST. Nick Bjugstad is a game time decision (he was wearing a no-contact jersey in practice yesterday) and teams’ usually err on the side of caution when it comes to these day-to-day injuries so we’ll assume that Bjugstad will sit. If he doesn’t, that’s fine too. Vincent Trocheck is already out, which would leave the Panthers down two of their three top centers. That messes things up big time.

Roberto Luongo has not lost on home-ice this season, going 3-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA, .967 SV%, which absolutely means regression is coming to those unsustainable numbers.

As for the Avs, they are fully healthy and own one of the best road records in the league (10-5-1) and no matter what happens here, the Avs always show up and play their hearts out. Coming off a 6-3 loss in Pittsburgh only helps to motivate them more.

Therefore:

OT included - Colorado +103 for 1 unit.

Regulation only - Colorado -½ +165 for 1 unit.
