The Pacific Division’s so deep this season that even a team like the Edmonton Oilers has a shot of winning. Edmonton heads to Colorado to battle the Avalanche in what should be a competitive game. With their 17-8-4 record, Colorado’s not that far behind Central Division leading Nashville. Will the Avalanche keep pace or will Edmonton take the victory?
Colorado’s been one of the biggest surprises so far this NHL Season. The Avalanche were expected to finish behind Nashville, Winnipeg, Dallas, Minnesota, and St. Louis. Right now, they’re the second best team in the Central.
The Avalanche have run out to a great record by leaning on a strong offense. Colorado ranks 4th in goals per. The defense plays well, holding opponents to less than 3 goals per.
