ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Colorado Avalanche Puck Line (-1.5 goals) over Los Angeles Kings, Friday at 9:05 PM ET - The Avalanche are beginning a two game set with the Kings so they will not overlook them. That being said, a focused Colorado team will be trouble for a struggling Los Angeles team. The Avalanche have won 18 of 21 games. 13 of the Avs last 16 wins have been by 2+ goals so laying the -1.5 goals to avoid the big juice money line is absolutely worth it here. Los Angeles has lost 9 of 12 games and the Kings last 8 losses have included 7 by 2 or more goals. This is the best team in the NHL hosting a team that has one of the weakest records in the league. That being said, with these teams meeting again Sunday, the Avalanche are not yet looking past the Kings and will come ready for a blowout win here. Our computer math modeling reflects this one getting very ugly for the road team and we completely agree! Laying the 1.5 goals (at a pick'em price currently in the -110 range) with Colorado is the value play here.
