Colorado is off to a 3-1 start, but I'm far from sold on the Avalanche. Colorado has beaten Boston twice. The Bruins are without a couple of key players and are off to a terrible start. The Avalanche has been bailed out by outstanding goaltending from Semyon Varlamov, who is 3-0 with a 1.67 GAA.

However, Varlamov is getting a day off here. Backup Jonathan Bernier will be in net for Colorado. He was in net when the Avalanche lost their lone game, 4-1 to New Jersey this past Saturday.

The Ducks are getting healthier as Ryan Getzlaf and Patrick Eaves are both back. They compose the Ducks' top line along with Corey Perry.
