Preview: Avs and Senators set for Showdown with Identical Records
The Avalanche and Ottawa Senators have something in common heading into Thursday night: both are sitting at 11-6-2. Colorado will have a chance to move to three straight wins when the two teams meet at Canadian Tire Centre, but Ottawa will be looking to make a statement of its own on home ice.
It’s an interesting spot for the Avalanche. They’ve been one of the better teams in this matchup over the years, winning seven of the last eight meetings and outscoring Ottawa 45-24. The Senators did get the last laugh, though, beating Colorado 5-2 on January 28. The Avs won’t need much reminding of how that one went.
