The Avalanche are on an absolute tear. They took home a win over one of the league’s toughest teams last night, extending their current win streak to five games and improving to a 14-6-4 record on the year.
They’re on their second back-to-back of the week, which is a tough break for the Central Division club.
Luckily, they’re facing off against another back-to-back team, and one that’s been in a bit of a free-fall this year.
The Pittsburgh Penguins were expected to be a contender for yet another season, but they’ve struggled to remain in the playoff hunt through the first quarter of the year.
