On Saturday, November 8, the Colorado Avalanche were in Edmonton to take on the Oilers in their two-game Western Canada outing. It turned into a completely lopsided victory for Colorado, as they won 9-1. Not only that, but holding a team who has Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to just one single goal is pretty remarkable. Something I found pretty neat, as well, is that they did it against both of Edmonton’s goaltenders—Stuart Skinner and fomer Avs goalie Calvin Pickard. Skinner allowed the first five while Pickard let in four of his own. It was a complete dominant game, and it has ended up being the highest-scoring game of the season for a single team.
