After a long trip in the east the new-look Colorado Avalanche returned home to face the St. Louis Blues and were looking to get back into the win column and make up ground in the Western Conference playoff chase. With a dominant 5-0 win over the Blues it is a good start on a short homestand to close out the final five games before the upcoming Four Nations break.
The Game
Briefly opening the game with a rough shift the Avalanche shifted momentum in their favor and got the game’s opening goal. Jonathan Drouin knocked a bouncing out of the air and tipped it past Blues netminder Joel Hofer at 4:57.
