One more stop on the road trip before the ambulance heads home as the Colorado Avalanche faced the reeling Philadelphia Flyers. But it was the Avalanche who had to deal with yet another couple of blows to both their lineup and on the scoreboard in this 5-3 loss to Philadelphia.
The Game
The lineup the Avalanche were forced to ice must be appreciated in full glory before getting to the action. And yet, it will get worse before it gets better.
It was an active first period as Alex Newhook scored quickly on the first Colorado power play at 3:50 on a nice tip in front of the net to celebrate his 100th NHL game.
