According to Colorado Avalanche Coach Joe Sacco’s pregame, Ryan O’Reilly will not play tonight against the St. Louis Blues. O’Reilly is suffering from a bruised foot, which was injured Saturday night against the Edmonton Oilers. Good news here is that testing came back negative on breaks and further damage, so hopefully he’ll be back soon.
The Colorado Avalanche and their outstanding goaltender Craig Anderson shut out the Edmonton Oilers 3-0 Saturday night, making that two in a row against the bottom fed Edmonton team. In what should have been a blowout, much like the last time the two met, the Avs managed to grab a crucial two points to keep them ahead of the teams chasing them and merely four points behind the Vancouver Canucks.
The Nashville Predators managed to shut down the youthful Colorado Avalanche, netting their 3rd win against the Avs this season and drawing ever closer to Colorado in the Western Conference points race. With every game being immensely important at this point in the season, last night’s loss was devastating to the team.
The Colorado Avalanche beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5 – 1 tonight, effectively ending a 3 game losing streak and completing a season series sweep against Columbus. In a game that started off on the wrong foot, the Avs had an enormous showing from their rookies.
The Colorado Avalanche face off at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight in the fourth meeting between the two teams this season. There are a few things going on with the team that are interesting to take note of.
Seems like things are heating up regarding the plethora of defensemen the Colorado Avalanche have suddenly found themselves with. Seven were dressed the other night against Dallas, with John-Michael Liles moving up to fill in offensively for the absence of an injured Ryan Stoa. This scenario becomes even more muddied when the oft forgotten Ruslan Salei finally returns (someday – he is skating ok!). But what are the Avs to do?
A lot of talk has sprung up today about the Colorado Avalanche’s in game entertainment experience. So much so, in fact, that Denver Post beat writer Adrian Dater is composing a page two story about his ideas. That got us to thinking, what is it that you want when you go to a game at the Pepsi Center?
