Edmonton at Colorado

The Colorado Avalanche closed a four-game road trip with an embarrassing 7-1 loss at Tampa Bay. They head back home with that sour taste in their mouth and ready themselves for the Edmonton Oilers. Overall, Colorado has played strong hockey on the season and is 8-3-1 in their last 12 games. Edmonton has won six of its last seven but this is a tough scheduling spot for the Oilers. They have had to travel to play in three of their last four games and this will be their sixth game in 11 days in the high Denver altitude. Colorado will be bringing a lot of energy while Edmonton may not have the legs to match it. Take Colorado.
