My 8* CENTER-ICE REPORT is on the Colorado Avalanche at 7:00 EST. Toronto is 38-21, but it comes to Colorado with zero momentum after back-to-back losses. Colorado is 37-24 and it comes into this one arguably playing its best hockey of the season after four straight victories. These teams have a common opponent over the last two weeks. The Leafs lost 3-2 in OT to the Sharks at home in their previous outing, while Colorado beat San Jose here by a score of 7-3 in its most recent matchup. Recent form plays a big part in my decision to pull the trigger on the home side in this matchup. And so does the price. The play is Colorado.
