ST. PAUL, Minn.--The Colorado Avalanche is on its second long road trip of the season, and like the first, the results have been positive.
Colorado ends a five-game trip tonight at the Minnesota Wild and looks to improve on its 3-1-0 record after playing the previous four contests in Western Canadian cities. The Avalanche has defeated the Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames, while the Edmonton Oilers have been the only club to pull out a victory against the Avs in the last nine days.
"I think if you told us at the start that we would be 3-1 going into the last game, we would take it all day," said defenseman Erik Johnson. "It would be real nice to be 4-1 on this five-game swing here."
