DENVER — The Avalanche's New Year's Resolution will have to be finding a way to win games. The once-hot club from Colorado has struggled to find consistent mojo, as evidenced by Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the visiting Los Angeles Kings to close out 2018 on a low note.
The Avs have now lost five straight, including twice in overtime, but there seems to be some signs of life with the team.
Not content to sleepwalk into the New Year, the Avalanche decided to turn on the jets in the final frame. The team struck twice to tie the match, feeding on the energy generated by the reunited MGM line of Gabriel Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon, and Mikko Rantanen.
