After a hard fought victory in Toronto Wednesday night, the Colorado Avalanche made the trip to Montreal to take on the Canadiens. After dominating the first half of the game, the Avalanche began to show fatigue but were able to hang on for a 3-2 win thanks to a great third period from Pavel Francouz.
Gabriel Landeskog and Andre Burakovsky were back in the lineup but just when we think the Avalanche are finally going to have their full complement of forwards, we got news before the game that Nazem Kadri is out due to a lower body injury.
