The Colorado Avalanche host the Vancouver Canucks tonight at Pepsi Center. Colorado needs a win to keep vying for the final playoff berth.
The teams have met twice before already this season. The first time was in early November when the Canucks handed the Avs one of their many overtime losses. The second game was a regulation loss that knocked Colorado out of the playoffs — a berth they haven’t occupied for more than a few hours since.
So, yes, the Avs would like some revenge on Vancouver. They’d also like to get back in the win column — and, you know, not get swept by the Canucks in their series.
