DENVER -- This road trip would be a difficult one for even a fully-healthy Penguins team.
The Penguins are here in Denver for the start of the final multi-game road trip of the season, a trip that opens with a game against the Avalanche on Wednesday and a game in Dallas against the Stars on Thursday.
Their opponents are two of the top teams in the Western Conference, and they've been hot. The Avalanche sit No. 2 in the Central Division and are riding a six-game win streak and a 7-2-1 record in their last 10 games.
