The New York Rangers take their show on the road for three games in the next five days. The trip begins in Denver with the next two games in Arizona and Vegas. It’s an opportune time to be playing the Avalanche who are riding a six game losing streak and have slipped into a wild card slot in the west.
The Avalanche were supposed to be one of the top teams in the Central Division after making the playoffs one year after finishing with the worst record in the NHL. Until the recent slide they were living up to expectations, but their game has recently gone south.
