Boston Bruins at Colorado Avalanche
The Bruins’ winning streak has reached 10 straight and it doesn’t look like they are showing any signs of slowing down. The craziest part of this stretch is that the team has just scored two power play goals in those games, and they were both in a 5-2 win against Florida. They really aren’t drawing many penalties, either, as they have failed to draw a power play in three of those 10 wins. In all, they have had just 16 opportunities in those games as well. At this point, their power play units are fairly irrelevant in DFS. They have also given up just two power play goals against in those 10 games (a 92.9-percent penalty kill efficiency).
Colorado is really seeing their team save percentage – which had been due to regress for a while – really start to take a hit; the team has allowed 18 goals in their last four games and gone 1-2-1 in those games. Now, they’ve scored 12 goals in those four games so they are far from a DFS pit like some other teams that might regress. There is still a lot of talent here. For now, though, it’s probably best to look at this team as the Philadelphia Flyers of the West; they can score a bunch, but they might be prone to giving up a bunch, too.
Colorado hasn’t won the possession battle in a game since February while the Bruins are playing some absolutely dominant five on five right now. There are a lot of good scorers on Colorado, so I think we could be in for a high-scoring game in this one. I don’t feel overly confident about taking either goalie, but I do feel confident in taking some top players from either side.
