Recap: Avalanche hold off Senators to win fifth consecutive game

The Colorado Avalanche defeated the Ottawa Senators by a final score of 5-4 in a late offensive explosion. The game was pretty tight for the majority of the contest until things opened up in a big way in the final frame. The win marks Colorado’s fifth consecutive win after an 0-4-0 start to the season.

The Senators, who have been in a handful of dogfights already in this young season, know how to score goals. I expected a high-scoring affair, but it didn’t look anything like I thought it would. Let’s get into it!

The Avs & Sens have combined for 69 (nice) goals in their last seven games.
