When the Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers get together, there’s an overflow of offensive firepower available.
Four of the top six scorers in the NHL this year, including three of the last four players to win a Hart Trophy. Since the start of the 2020-21 season, the Avs are tied for first in the league with 1,230 goals. The other club? We’ll give you one guess.
It also usually means two of the deadliest power plays in the league. That hasn’t been the case this season, and it’s been particularly impotent of late for Colorado.
The Avs are 6 for 51 with the extra man over their past 17 games, and the power play hasn’t scored in the past five contests.
