Most nights the Avs' problem is goals. Tuesday night that was not the case as the Avs put up four goals against the Blackhawks and for the second game in a row blew a third period lead to lose the game. The Avs simulated a road game on Tuesday, but will head on the road for real Thursday when they head to Anaheim to face the Ducks.
The Avs will be without Semyon Varlamov for the trip and for awhile as he continues to struggle with injuries. Spencer Martin was recalled Wednesday for Varlamov's time away and he is expected to get a chance to play some time in the next couple weeks.
