The Colorado Avalanche have been in a must-win situation for weeks now. Well, with just six games remaining in the regular season (three home, three away), Colorado has fallen out of the playoff bracket.
It’s do-or-die time.
How did Colorado get here? Well, on the negative side, they dropped a deuce at home against the LA Kings on March 22, the very team they were fighting for a playoff spot. They also lost their marbles in the face of an implacable Marc-Andre Fleury in Vegas.
On the positive side, they got here because of an epic 10-game winning streak back in late December through January.
