WHERE/WHEN
December 27, 2015 Game 36
Pepsi Center Denver, CO
HIGHLIGHTS
Coming off the holiday break, the Colorado Avalanche were facing the all-too-familiar steep climb up the Central Division standings should they achieve their stated goal of being a playoff team this season. Hosting the Arizona Coyotes following a six day layoff, there was plenty of concern with a slow start and the Avalanche playing rusty early on.
The reality would clash with expectations, however, as the Avalanche came out flying in the first period, heavily outshooting Arizona in an uneven period that saw six penalties called in total.
