After their longest road trip of the season, the Avalanche head home to face off against the Ottawa Senators.
If the Avalanche are going to turn around their season, it's because they become a dominating team on home ice. The altitude and relative distance between other NHL cities are a built-in advantage at the Pepsi Center every time the puck drops at center ice. Right now, Colorado is 2-5-1 at home -- not even close to getting it done. After a two-week long seven-game road trip, the Avs will try to improve this record against an Ottawa Senators team that has won three in a row.
