To begin a three-game road trip the Colorado Avalanche travelled to visit the Carolina Hurricanes in a rematch of last weekend’s win. The result was similar as the Avalanche pulled out a 3-2 win this time but needed overtime and overcame much more adversity to earn the two points this time.
The Game
The start of this game looked a lot like the previous one against Carolina with the Avalanche just hoping to withstand the Hurricanes’ forecheck pressure. Despite having to kill two penalties the Avalanche held Carolina off the board in the first frame.
