BUFFALO, N.Y. — In what became an elongated four-game road trip during a stretch originally reserved for the Olympic break, the NHL-leading Avalanche spent an extra day in Las Vegas following a 2-0 victory over the Golden Knights on Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena.
That victory, coupled with Sunday’s 4-0 triumph at Dallas, highlights an extraordinary six-game road winning streak that gave Colorado a deserved Thursday off in Sin City. The Avs traveled directly to Buffalo on Friday for Saturday’s game.
This is a team that knows how to win outside Denver after beginning 0-2 on the road — and the combined 6-0 score over the Stars and Knights certainly supports that.
