The league’s travel schedule follows a predictable pattern for teams making their way through the opposing conference on road trips.
Obviously there are exceptions, but most teams will make a few near-guaranteed road trips. They’ll make the Vegas-Phoenix back-to-back trip, they’ll pass through Southern California, and they’ll do the tour of Florida.
Colorado is right in the middle of that Florida trip, having faced off against the Panthers on Thursday and preparing to take on Tampa Bay later this evening.
They’re riding high on the back of a 5-2 victory for now, which is exactly what they needed.
