Coming off an unlikely but much-needed win over the Hurricanes, the Ottawa Senators face another uphill battle tonight as they host the red-hot Colorado Avalanche.
The Avalanche were cup favourite heading into this season. Although they got off to a slow start that put some of those preseason predictions in doubt, they finally look like the team we all expected, having won 8 of their last 10. They also have Nathan MacKinnon back now, so there’s that.
The last game between these two teams was a high-scoring affair that the Avalanche won 7-5.
