WINNIPEG, Manitoba--Over the course of 82 games and seven months, there are going to be plenty of highs and lows along the way. There will be winning streaks and losing streaks during an NHL season, but the key for any team is to have the negative runs be few and far between.
The Colorado Avalanche has responded from its most recent downturn with two solid victories and aims to keep the winning going tonight up north at the Winnipeg Jets. It is the start of a five-game road trip for the Avs that features stops in four Western Canadian cities before finishing up at the Minnesota Wild.
"We want to get off on the right foot, kind of continue what we did the last couple games at home," said Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar. "Took a positive step, a step in the right direction after a little bit of a skid. Guys are playing hard and we're getting contributions from a bunch of different guys, and we're defending well."
