The Colorado Avalanche, yes, must win tonight against the LA Kings during their traditional New Year’s Eve match. For so many reasons, Colorado needs this win tonight.
The Avalanche aren’t in a winning way right now. They’re 2-6-2 in their last 10 games, which includes a four-game losing skid. They’re coming off a 3-2 overtime loss where at least they earned a point. But they have only eight points in all of December.
They’re facing an LA Kings squad that’s… so much worse. They’re dead-last in the entire NHL. Unfortunately for the Avs, the Kings aren’t doing as poorly lately.
