The Colorado Avalanche are right smack in the middle of their road trip. Today’s game marks the third of a five-game roadie. It’s also their only game in Canada — Ottawa, to be specific.
So far, Colorado is 1-1 on the road trip, beating Buffalo but dropping a game in Philly. On the one hand, they should have a good chance against an Ottawa team that’s third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. However, the Avs are 1-3 in Ottawa in their last four tries.
Colorado, meanwhile, has dropped to third in the Central Division. They’re just one point below Dallas, with two games in hand.
