Over 5.5: This is the fourth and final meeting of the regular season. The Avalanche shocked the fans back in October by beating the Red Wings on consecutive Saturday nights, rallying for a 4-3 shootout win in Detroit on Oct. 17 and following up with a 3-1 victory in Colorado on Oct. 24. In the most recent meeting, the Red Wings won 4-2 on New Year's Eve. Which leaves the series 2-1 in favor of the Avalanche

Just over 24 hours after leading Team Canada to Olympic gold in Vancouver, Coach Babcock is back behind the bench for the Red Wings, a team that hasn't missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 20 years but starts the stretch run 10 th in the Western Conference. They have the chance to move past Dallas and Calgary into eighth with a victory Monday. Meanwhile, forward Paul Stastny of the Avalanche and defenseman Brian Rafalski of the Red Wings, teammates for the silver-medalist Americans, find themselves back in opposing jerseys.

The thing that stands out at me in this game is the fact that the Red Wings are battling for a playoff spot. Expect a big game from the Red Wings especially since they are getting back to being healthy and working out all the kinks. With both goaltenders coming off of a 2 week layoff, I expect them to be slightly rusty and not up to prime as they were before the Olympic break. High shooting style game from both teams will send this one over the posted total!
