And they head into this game having won 3 in a row away from home.<\/p>\n<p>Florida has outshot foes 106-82 in building a plus-5 in goal differential over its last 3 games. An offense that got off to a dodgy start this season has cranked out 3.77 goals per game since Nov. 13.<\/p>\n<p>The Avs have been tremendous, but they are back at home after a season-long 4-game trip.<\/p>\n<p>FLORIDA +1.5 (-120) is a value play with a nice price tag.<\/p>\n<p>Season expected-goal numbers suggest Florida\u2019s defense is due for better results, while Colorado\u2019s offense is likely headed for a dip. Those metrics apply to 5-on-5 play. Neither side has generated much value on the power play.<\/p>\n<p>In recent games, both clubs have filed fewer high-danger chances in 5-on-5 action.<\/p>\n<p>The UNDER 6 (+105) is the value side.<\/p>\n<p>For more sports betting picks and tips, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbookwire.usatoday.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ftw.usatoday.com\/betftw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow SportsbookWire on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SportsBookWire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sportsbookwire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Florida Panthers (15-12-2) and Colorado Avalanche (21-2-7) meet Thursday in Denver, Colorado.
