The Colorado Avalanche have had a solid start to their 2018-19 campaign. They’re not undefeated, but they’re continuing to show some good play.
The Avs have played two games at home — winning both — and two games on the road. They split the road trip, dropping the decision in Columbus but routing the Buffalo Sabres.
Something I wanted to see the team do was develop a road identity. It’s imperative that they continue with their strong start to lay a solid foundation of points for a tough battle in the Central Division. And part of that foundation is going to be comprised of road points by necessity — seven of their 12 October games are on the road.
