This is going to be a tough game on a back-to-back. Either Craig Anderson is playing on a back-to-back between Dallas and Denver or Matt O'Connor is playing. In the end, I think the Senators top end talent will do enough to squeeze out a victory.

GWG: Nathan MacKinnon
The kid has been on fire lately, and the Avs will rebound after a poor loss against the Leafs by taking advantage of some Senators defensive miscues.

Deck feels a little stacked against on this one - road back to back, time zone change, major altitude change. Why am I picking the Sens? Oh yeah, Colorado is that bad.

Callum
3-2 Avalanche
GWG: Matt Duchene
Remember when Ales Hemsky scored two goals agains the Senators and then the next day Bryan Murray traded for him? Well the same thing is going to happen with Duchene, except he’ll still play for Colorado afterwards.

GWG: Alex Chiasson
The Sens come out a bit flat after playing last night, but they battle back from two goals down to come out with the win on a third period Chiasson PPG.

The Avs aren't good. The Sens have been beating up on bad teams lately.

5-4 Senators
GWG: Kyle Turris
This has high scoring matchup written all over it. The Avs and Sens are amongst the worst teams in shots against, and it should be a sloppy affair. Kyle Turris will get a late goal to seal the win.
