The Colorado Avalanche are getting ready to play their second game of a five-game road trip tonight in Buffalo. So far they’re 0-1 on the roadie.
They need a bounceback win. Sure, they’re still in a good playoff position. However, that won’t last forever if they keep playing inconsistently. They also want to not still be in a slump.
The Avalanche had a couple days in Philadelphia to practice before heading to Buffalo yesterday afternoon. Before their flight, they focused on special teams. I wrote a whole article about that issue, so let’s just hope they worked on more than different line combinations.
