HIGHLIGHTS

GAME RUNDOWN

The Colorado Avalanche limped into Edmonton missing three injured starters – Matt Duchene, Nathan MacKinnon, and Eric Gelinas – and hoping the return of Gabriel Landeskog and rookie call up Mikko Rantanen would help advance the team’s quest for a postseason spot.

The Avalanche launched onto the ice with energy against an Oilers team motivated to overcome their own defensive injuries. The first period showed a lot of back and forth action in which the Avalanche outshot the Oilers 12-8.
