The Avalanche enter Tuesday night’s game in Pittsburgh on an 11-game point streak. The last time out, Colorado beat Detroit 2-0 in a chippy affair by virtue of — stop me if you’ve heard this before — two points from each of Mikko Rantanen, Nathan MacKinnon, and Gabriel Landeskog.
Colorado is now two points behind Nashville in the Central Division standings with one game-in-hand. The Predators are off on Tuesday, so it’s another opportunity for the Avalanche to grab the division (and conference) lead again.
In Pittsburgh, there’s been a bit of a panic this season.
