YTD 34-11 (+32.50 units) 19-6 in last 25
Ott./Col. notes:
Abby for Avs and Lalime for the Sens in nets tonight.
Blake is a gametime decision.
Defense pairings for Avs:
Foote-Skoula,de Vries-Trepanier,Berry-Gill.
With Roy and most likely Blake out of the line-up tonight I look for the Sens to use their speed and wear out the Avs defense. After looking at the pairings for the Avs on defense they are not even average with Blake out. This means more minutes for guys who are going to have to face a number 1 or 2 line rather than a number 3 line. The Avs looked alot better on their recent road trip but still are not scoring at the same clip as last year. Blake leaves a big hole for the Avs on PP and PK. Factor all this in and the Sens should be able to put one or two extra goals past Abby with Roy out tonight. Look for a 3-1 or 4-2 game in favour of the Sens. The total on this game is too hard to call. Grab 4.5 if you can otherwise I would stay away from a total of 5. The last four times these teams have met they have gone under the total and the Avs in their most recent 15 games have 3 overs and 12 unders. On the other hand the Sens have 6 overs and 3 unders on their 9 road games so far this year.
