- MTWatch: Altitude, Altitude+, ESPN+Listen: Altitude Sports Radio, 92.5 FMColorado AvalancheThe boys in burgundy and blue aren’t exactly desperate for a win or involved in an intense race for the division lead, but it’s never good to give up 7 goals to a divisional opponent on home ice.
- That’s exactly what happened when the Nashville Predators came into town.
- The question then became, how would they respond?Well, they responded by beating the Capitals seemingly (respectfully) with ease.
- It felt like they were back to business as usual and had shaken off the remaining rust accrued over a long break by the third period. Good news on the injury front and some clarification in terms of Val Nichushkin and being involved in a vehicle collision, as Jared Bednar says Devon Toews will be an option Sunday against the Leafs, Landeskog is progressing nicely, and Val Nichushkin is “going to go tonight.”Look for the Avalanche to shut things down defensively and try to buck the trend of slow starts tonight against the Ducks.
