PHILADELPHIA — Before heading to New York last week to play the Rangers, the Avalanche players' message to one another was twofold.
They agreed they were a special team, and to prove it, they had to be better on the road.
After a 4-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center, the Avalanche head home 3-0-1 on their first lengthy road trip this season and boast one of the NHL's most dominant lines.
Mikko Rantanen scored twice, Gabe Landeskog added a goal and the Avs' secondary scoring showed up with a goal from Matt Nieto.
