The Colorado Avalanche return to action tonight after a commanding 9-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. They now face the Vancouver Canucks in the second game of a back-to-back series, marking the first of three regular-season meetings between these teams.
Last night’s matchup served as an important test for Colorado against the reigning Western Conference champions, and they passed decisively. The Avalanche showcased both star power and depth, with Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Jack Drury, and Parker Kelly all chasing potential hat-tricks.
“Everything seemed to go right for Colorado, except for a couple of things: going 0/7 on the power play and Gabe Landeskog having yet another goal called back for being offside.”
Despite those minor setbacks, the team’s dominant performance left little room for concern. Now, Colorado aims to continue their strong form and capture another two points against a Vancouver team that also comes in without the advantage of rest.
