Game 2 Preview: Avs, Oilers primed for another shootout
Colorado Avalanche: 9-2
Edmonton Oilers: 8-5
Time: 6:00 p.m. MT
The Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers will play Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals tonight at Ball Arena in Downtown Denver. The Avalanche took Game 1 in a high-scoring affair. Colorado nearly surrendered a four-goal lead late in but secured the victory with an empty-net goal.
Colorado Avalanche
The Avalanche will have to be better defensively if they want to keep winning games in this series. You don’t want to try and outscore the Edmonton Oilers night after night, so I’d expect a tighter checking game from Colorado in Game 2. If they can’t execute defensively, we will have another track meet on our hands.
