Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:COL Under 3.5 team total★★★★

A quiet offense against a full number

Colorado has gone quiet, scoring 4.0 times a game over their last five, and tonight's number asks them to beat that.

The number

Colorado would need to roughly lift their recent output to clear 3.5, and nothing in the last five games suggests that is close.

The decider

The nets are about even — Blackwood and Allen are both stopping about nine of ten — so goaltending is not the edge here.

The context

These two have been playing different games: New Jersey's games are ordinary, Colorado's are track meets. This bet is really a question of which pattern holds. Colorado is putting 30.6 shots a game on net and finishing 14.7% of them.

Situational

Colorado is on the second night of a back-to-back — a notch toward the under.

What breaks this

If Allen has another night like his last few, the under is gone early. Their last meeting went at a 10-goal pace.
