It does not matter if it is in Denver or halfway across the globe in Stockholm, you should be expecting plenty of goals when the Colorado Avalanche takes the ice. The OVER has hit in each of the Avs’ past eight games with a combined average of 8.1 goals per game in that span. The Avalanche will finish up their two-game set with the Ottawa Senators in Sweden Saturday.
Of course, one of the biggest storylines from the first game between these clubs Friday was Matt Duchene. The long-time Avalanche center was traded mere days ago to the Senators and played his first game against the team that drafted him. Duchene did not pick up any points but had 16:44 of ice time including 1:58 on the Sportsbook.
The real difference maker Friday was Mark Stone, whose two goals – including the Sportsbook in overtime – lifted the Sens to victory. Stone has now tallied four goals and two assists in the past three games. Avs leading scorer Nathan MacKinnon found the back of the net as well, bringing his point streak to five games.
