As the schedule starts picking up the Colorado Avalanche needed to continue taking care of business and extend their game winning streak in order to keep climbing back into the central division standings. Enter the Anaheim Ducks who are in a rebuilding phase but have started hot and are currently in a playoff spot, which would be no easy foe. After enduring a bizarre and challenging start to the game the Avalanche found their groove and cruised to a 5-2 victory for their sixth straight win.
The Game
Ducks got on the board first on a power play at 4:58 from Sonny Milano after Darcy Kuemper lost his skate blade yet again and couldn’t get up off the ice.
