As the longest road trip of all time continued, the urgency for the Colorado Avalanche to find a win continued to increase. Against the Washington Capitals it finally happened as the team received contributions through the lineup and walked away with a 6-3 Avalanche victory.
The Game
It was nice to see the Avalanche come out of the gate with some energy and they looked like a motivated group as they put two quick scores on the board. Ross Colton was absolutely flying as he took a feed from Mikes Wood and finished on a gorgeous breakaway at 2:46.
