The Colorado Avalanche failed to open their four-game swing through Canada on a positive note.
They haven't had much go right against the Vancouver Canucks this season, either.
In danger of losing a season-high fourth straight road contest, the Avalanche try to avoid being swept by the Canucks tonight (7 p.m. Pacific time, on Sportsnet Pacific, TSN 1040).
After recording back-to-back wins to conclude to a 3-1-0 homestand, Colorado (35-31-4) blew a 2-0 lead en route to Saturday's 3-2 loss to lowly Winnipeg. In the mix with Minnesota for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference, the Avalanche have little room for error down the stretch.
