One final stop on the never-ending east coast road trip was against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. The Colorado Avalanche saved their best effort for last but endured another bizarre set of circumstances and uneven performances yet ended up with a decisive 7-3 final score in their favor. All in all a 3-1-1 road trip was a success but some questions still remain.
The Game
It was the start the Avalanche wanted with some shuffled lines when Mikko Rantanen buried a feed from Nazem Kadri at 4:11, getting to Rangers goaltender Adam Huska making his first NHL start was a good strategy.
