The set-up: I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance here as I expect this game to be decided late, or even in extra time or the shootout. Philip Grubauer is 3-0-0 with a 2.34 GAA for the Avs, while Braden Holtby is 1-1-2 with a 3.67 GAA for the Capitals.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Colorado is 7-1 in its last nine non-conference road games following a three games or more unbeaten streak. For all the reasons listed above, lay the price and grab the visitors with the spread.

6* play on the Avs PUCK-LINE.
