After the less than convincing win in Glendale, the Rangers travel to Denver to face the only team worse than the Coyotes in the Colorado Avalanche. This team is a train wreck right now, so naturally this is a trap game for the Rangers. Looking at the Avs’ lineup, they have a a solid top line, 2/3 of a solid second line, and then an average/below average bottom-six. I have no idea what to make of their defense.
The Avs are weird. They should be better, I think. There’s a good amount of skill, but they are clearly not a complete team.
