The Colorado Avalanche still plays hockey, correct? Because this team keeps scoring touchdowns.
The Avs dominated the Detroit Red Wings, 7-3, on Friday night at Ball Arena. It marked Colorado’s third-straight game with seven goals. Avalanche starting netminder Darcy Kuemper stopped 37 shots for his 11th victory of the season.
The Avs (15-7-2) have now won seven consecutive meetings against their old-school rivals from Detroit. The outcome on Friday was never in doubt.
Colorado led 3-0 midway into the opening period with goals from JT Compher (in his first game back from injury), Andre Burakovsky (breaking a three-game point drought) and Darren Helm (against his former team).
