After a great win in OT last night in Vancouver, the Avalanche headed to Edmonton to see what the Oilers were up to. For those who have never followed the NHL this season and have just happened upon this website by happenstance, the Oilers are last in the league and are pretty much guaranteed to get the 1st draft pick in Los Angeles this summer. However, the Avalanche still have a chance to move up in the standings, so every game still has meaning.
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.
According to Altitude Sport’s morning skate podcast, Marek Svatos is already back out again. Terry Frei from the Denver Post corroborates, saying he has a chest contusion and is “day to day” according to Joe Sacco. Just when the the guy has a chance to potentially have major minutes, he’s off the ice again.
Are you as excited for this upcoming season as you were last year?
